Murder on the _____ Express (6)

I believe the answer is:

orient

(Other definitions for orient that I've seen before include "Countries east of the Mediterranean" , "Determine position with regard to points of compass" , "Adjust to surroundings" , "Get one's bearings - to the East?" , "The East - got bearings" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
