Two trains, Train A and Train B, simultaneously depart Station A and Station B. Station A and Station B are 252.5 miles apart fr
omeli [17]

-- The trains start moving at the same time.

-- The space between them is initially 252.5 miles.

-- They reduce the distance between them at the rate of (124.7+253.5)=378.2mph.

-- It will take them (252.5 / 378.2) = 0.6676 hour to meet.  

That's 40min 3.49sec .

-- After tooting and puffing toward each other for 8 minutes, they still have <em>32min 3.49sec</em> to go before they meet each other.  We're all hoping that they're on different tracks.
