First, I don't think momentum is conserved by portals (it is conserved relative to the portals, but not globally). Momentum is a vector quantity, meaning it's dependent on direction (which can get confusing in the curved space time of something like a wormhole). Objects exit portals relative to the normal vector of the second portal. So momentum can be conserved depending on the arrangement, but it can also be "reflected" or rotate the momentum vector 180 degrees to itself before it entered the portal. However, since no momentum seems to be transferred to the portal or the surface it's on (think throwing a rubber ball against a brick wall, a little momentum is transferred to the wall to reflect it), it seems that momentum isn't conserved.
The thing that does seem to be conserved is "speed" (but not kinetic energy). The question now is "speed relative to what?" I think it's impossible to say for certain, there are a lot of arguments to be made either way, but I think the easiest answer is "your speed relative to the first portal you enter". So in this case, I believe the people would fly out of the second portal when hit by the portal on the train.
Another example to think about is a portal in a falling elevator. While it's in free-fall, how would someone exit the portal? I don't think they'd be shot out of the portal if they exited it, so portals likely conserve your speed relative to the portal you enter.
Edit: A stronger argument for this, I just realized, comes from the fact that there is no time delay when entering a portal. You enter and exit both at the same time, instantly, based off the mechanics in the game. As stated previously, no momentum seems to be transferred to the portals/portal surface when entering or exiting them. This also means that no forces are exerted on anything that passes through the portals. If the "plop" outcome was accurate, there would either have to be a time delay between entering and exiting the portal, or there would have to be forces acting on the people, compressing them somehow as they enter and exit the portals.
In this example you could also make a spaceship that runs off a free energy engine, hence kinetic energy isn't conserved either.
In this example, the spring mass is tossed to the front of the ship, hits the wall and bounces off in a nearly elastic collision, transferring a little of it's momentum to the ship and causing it to move forward. The spring mass then travels back to portal 1 with a relative speed greater than it's initial speed (since the ship is moving now slightly). It exits portal two and hits the front of the ship again, adding even more momentum (since the spring mass is moving faster). Then it bounces off again, goes back into portal 2, and repeats the process.
Unless portals and the things that goes through them consume energy from the gun, portals violate conservation of momentum and energy. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Saturday, 19-Aug-2023 02:34:29 JST Anime Wong @jimmybuffettfanaccount @IAMAL_PHARIUS @coolboymew It's a shame that Boruto never capitalized on this. Naruto spent much of his life trying to get everyone to like him, and so is unable to totally devote himself to a small number of people, including his own kids. Boruto's hatred of his dad is kind of justified, but the anime makes Boruto come off as spoiled. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Sunday, 13-Aug-2023 01:05:45 JST Anime Wong I think people, when already in the midst of taboo, both sexual but also social, tend to be more honest, and that resonates with people. It's probably why people find scumbags to be charismatic or relatable.

I still see people wearing them, and I don't think they get the purpose behind them, and no one seems willing to tell them otherwise. -
Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Tuesday, 08-Aug-2023 07:09:06 JST Anime Wong @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @x50fb4e8c @ai @MercurialBlack When you hear about students like Lev Landau who taught themselves calculus while barely 10 years old, I think a big part of "well educated" people is being an autodidact.
A lot of people (myself included at one time) think that a good education comes from teachers who are very well versed in their field and are able to communicate it well to others. Basically it assumes that people coming into it are not well educated and need to be taught. The reality is that teachers need to be well educated so that people who've basically taught themselves can use the expertise of their teachers, like someone would use a book. -
