A super (limited) ultra relativistic train of velocity 0.95 c is zooming to the right through a tunnel which is just long enough to fit the relativistically compressed train (according to distance markers along the track). According to clocks affixed to the tracks, the train is completely in the tunnel at the same time. According to the two synchronized clocks at the front and back of the train, when will the front clock reach the right end of the tunnel?

Possible Answers:

A) The front of the train reaches the right tunnel before the back of the train according to the train’s clocks.

B) The back of the train reaches the right tunnel before the front of the train according to the train’s clocks.

C) The back of the train reaches the right tunnel at the same time before the front of the train according to the train’s clocks.
