\n" ); document.write( "The first train travels for 2:30 at 90 mph before the second train starts, traveling 90(2.5) = 225 miles in that time. The remaining distance between the two trains is 4215-225 = 3990 miles.

\n" ); document.write( "When the two trains are both moving, they are closing the distance between them at a rate of 90+120 = 210 mph.

\n" ); document.write( "The number of hours required for them to travel the 3990 miles that remain before they meet is 3990/210 = 19.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: The two trains will pass each other 19 hours (5 hours less than a full day) after the second train started, at 5:45 pm the next day.
