Yeah..... Sure you can tell the difference. If "what you feel" is
too crude a measure for you, use an accelerometer. My claim is that the
guy on the ground will see a reading of zero on his accelerometer, the guy
on the train will see his accelerometer read different from zero as the
train stops.

John, Albert, and I will all be surprised by that result. I'm distinctly
uncomfortable whenever my accelerometer reads zero!

I too would be surprised by that result....

....But not me. I deal with reality.
I realise that the accelerometers I deal with are generally
single axis instruments.
So that they read 1 g upright, -1 g inverted, and 0 g
at 90 degrees of rotation.
