Just kidding. I'm testing posting details.

It's Amtrak. They both derail long before there is any possibility of a crash.

Classic algebra math problem. They'll have a closing speed of 150mph and the approximate distance is 790 miles. Time to meet 790m/150mph = 5.27 hours. NY train travels 369 west of NY and the Chicago train travels 421 miles east of Chicago. That puts the train in eastern Ohio, either closer to Cinncinatti or Toledo depending on the exact routes taken. They are probably better off crashing near Cinncinatti, which has more and larger hospitals than Toldeo.

The burial part is a trick question on the exam. Of course, you don't bury the survivors.
Points off for students who don't spot that. Extrta points off to any student who says Toledo. Does anyone want to be buried in Toledo?
