ping da ping...

if a train leaves NewYork at 8:05AM EST and Santa Clause leaves the north pole at 8:06 EST:
assuming a prevalant North eastern wind of 10 knots at the north pole and a temperature of -5C and temperature of 0C in New York, the train accellerating to a constant 74.3mph in 20 minutes, a constant flying speed of 362 MPH for Santa (reached after a two minute acceleration):
which would reach San Diego first, by how much? Round you time to nearest 100th of a second.
