    Is the train already moving at 1 mph or starting from a stop at the tunnel entrance?

    I agree, and blue, if the train was starting from a dead stop, there's no way we could know, as we'd need to know the rate the train could accelerate, or even more difficult, the number of engines, their pulling power and the weight of the cars.

    The question said it was traveling at the rate of 1 mph - so it was already moving.

    I intended to say "miles per second;" nonetheless, the numerical part of the answer would be the same.

    And the winner is:

    Congratulations! Job well done! It would take a 1-mile long train moving at the already rate of 1 mile per hour, exactly 1 hour to completely move into a tunnel that is 1 mile long. Then another hour would be required for that train to completely exit the tunnel.

    The correct answer is 2 hours!

    I would never ride such a train. I am too impatient.

    Oh I'm sorry to read about your Bonnie. She looked as though she was a really sweet pooch. I'm sure she's resting now at the Bridge. My RB peke-a-poo began having seizures after she gave birth but meds kept her from having any more and she lived to the ripe old age of 18 1/2. Your Bonnie will always be w/you.

    As for the math question: math makes my brain itch.
    Blessings,
    Mary
