For example, "At this rate I'll never get the thing finished."

Mmm...maybe, I've never heard something like that before but we always make up things like that and we understand them as we can, if you say that I would understand but I am not sure if the rest of your sentence will match that meaning.

Sounds like a little play on words. "on this train, I will get nowhere".
