No, really, It's actually somewhat interesting, albeit NAC.

Now that we have established Cp, cd MSCP et.al., can anyone tell me what
happens to all of these calculations if we throw in Einstein's train
experiment? You know, the one with the two lightning strikes, marking the
train and the rail, with 2 observers present - one on the train, and one on
the ground - and with the train approaching the speed of light....

- Don't get mad - just my warped sense of humor playing tricks again. The
train paradox is a real (hypothetical) experiment, the humor was to throw it
in at this point.
