If you mean what the Germans call a "Durchgangszug", walk-through train,

Interesting that that term has been re-used. The term "Durchgangszug"
used to refer to the presence of any kind of corridor (i.e. not
full-width compartments with separate doors). It's where, I recently
discovered, the term "D-Zug" originated - it stands for
"Durchgangs-Schnellzug", i.e. "corridored express train", as opposed
to the older "Eilzug" (literally "rushing train") which generally
wouldn't have been so formed.
