Interesting, if we assume Train B travels north, the answer is C. But I guess it doesn't say that...

That's what I thought. But this question comes off of the GMAT Club Challengessss (eerie music suddely playes in the background, lightning suddenly strikes outside your window). Whooaaaaahhahahahah...

The answer is E.
