No? perhaps... but aren't there two different times both moving at different speeds? if there is no synchronization, how can they 'share' this event of crashing?

hehe yes it would be a fireball. But at 50MPH there would be no time distortion. at close to the speed of light we would be dealing with a different time frame in terms of relativity. his clock would be slower ... the clock of the poor sucker on the tracks would be faster. they would be in...

No, the train is going close to the speed of light, fast enough for space-time distortion to be occurring. But once the collision happens, they would be in the same timeframe wouldn't they? but how would this be possible?

Sorry, strange question, but let's do a thought experiment: if a train was moving at near light speed and hit a slow moving object on the tracks, would the two timelines synchronize? since the train is moving at near light speed, according to relativity, time on the train would slow down...
