We have no reason to think that the group was on the Train for more than a day, especially considering the Grimm fell upon the train due to the relic, so the Grimm not attacking for an entire day would seem odd.

I'd like to point out this post of mine I made highlighting the timeline. http://kingfubuki92.tumblr.com/post/181159916991/to-all-rwby-fans-that-are-caught-up-with-volume-6 Yes, I know, Tumblr is both cancer and dead, but like an idiot I still try to get some rational thought out. It doesn't always work. The team apparently didn't come under attack due to the Relic the entire day they spent getting to Argus after the train crash. Only Grimm attack they suffered was on account of there being a whole herd of Grimm locked underneath them, which had nothing to do with the Relic. We also don't know how far out the border of Mistral is exactly. Argus is clearly separated from Mistral, but any wall could go out for a while. They may also deliberately be going through mountains as a strategy to evade Grimm. It could have been going through a long mountain range most of the time it was traveling.

You also assume two weeks means exactly two weeks i.e. 14 days. If it were a rough estimate and the truth were more like 16 days, then your timeline would be off a bit. Malachite's goon also does not say "a week ago" as you suggest. They said "last week" and that could mean last calendar week. If Cinder went there on a Thursday and Hazel went on a Tuesday the week before then that is nine days. Another assumption is that the flight to LoD would take a day or two. Should these aircraft be capable of traveling speeds typical of aircraft then it could probably make the trip in a day or less. Theoretically, that means Salem's group at least would be more than capable of moving in on them within this window without even having to extend RWBY's train ride.
