When we consider a moving object, the total distance it is displaced divided by the total time taken for that displacement is the average speed of the object for that time interval.

If the moving object is a train that makes a few stops along its route from city A to city B, it will have some kind of average speed associated with its journey. An investigator will find the average speed of the train by dividing the total distance it traveled (the distance between city A and city B) by the total time that has elapsed since it left city A and arrived at city B.
