    Dont they need to be hovering mid air for either to happen? I am trying to imagine how would a moving portal teleport a person laying down without teleporting the ground beneath him. I think neither a or b would happen, I think they would be draggen on the ground and splattered, but if I HAVE to choose, I say A is more likely. Because they are laying and not hovering I dont think they will be launched.

      However, the portal is moving. So if we look at this relative to the portal, they would moving into the portal. I imagine they would get shot out along with the rails. Of course, they’ll eventually plop back down, so it really could be A if the trolley was moving quite slow.

      I agree, in the portal game they would be scraped/blended on the bottom of the support of the portal attached to the train. If they were in fact hovering in line with the portal I’m leaning towards, an object in motion will stay in motion. Given portal orange is moving and blue is stationary, objects entering the portal will exit at the same velocity and b would probably happen in game.
