To make it clear from the start: I agree 100% with B - there has to be movement, because without it, people wouldn’t come out of the portal at all. And if there is a movement, then the only reasonable speed would be that of the train.

But: Your question about the energy is still interesting. It must come from somewhere. And I think, the only source, from which it can come, is the train. That is, the train would lose energy and therefore slow down.

The portal moves towards the people. It’s a hole. Momentum won’t transfer from nothing as the hole is the one moving.

So, how would the people come out of the portal without movement?

Because the portal is moving them through it

Like how you would move through a hoop if it passed through you, it’s just a door through space
