The train from Boston.

Thats not the answer. Both the trains are at the same place when they encounter. So there is no question of which one is closer!

Both will be equally close?

Okay saw the answer.. I was right. And yes, I was honest and did not see your answer too.
Ps. you should not give the spoiler in the comments..

Yeah, I shouldn't have given the answer there. Sid had got it too and was just pulling my leg when he gave the wrong answer.. but I thought otherwise and replied.. and I realised that once you saw the comments page, the lj-cut is also exposed. So went ahead and commented anyways..
