    Let’s say the train moves at 100mph, therefore your body needs to exit the other portal at 100mph. Otherwise it would be compressed. What happens to the energy of this movement if you just stop on the other end?

      We also need to consider the air that is in front of the train as it moves forward. That air is going into the portal at the rate the train moves forward and therefore coming out the other portal at that rate.
