With all the metal close to practical antennas, it is much more difficult
than automobile mobile. It is the restriction on height and width of the
antennas compared to train size.
You may do best with low dipole and be content with NVIS technique.

Yes, 2-meters is no problem, HF may be a bit harder but not
impossible. Our trains here are kinda noisy though, I swear some of
those cars have square wheels! 73 de Alex NS6Y

Is it possible at all to work from a train in motion?

Merhebe Bekir,
Yes, you can operate from a train, see LA5XOA's story from last year about
LA1TRAIN - LA9TRAI
Bekir:
Since many operators communicate from ships, cars and airplanes in
motion, you should be able to operate from a train in motion.
Obviously if the train car is metal, an indoor antenna would be
ineffective. Can you mount a mobile whip on the exterior of the car?
Would clearance through
