1. Yes. You need to set a trigger in FMB (called say "PlayerCloseBy") for when the player gets close enough. Then something like the script below for the trigger event.

    public override void OnTrigger(int missionNumber, string shortName, bool active)
    {
        //call base classes OnTrigger method.
        base.OnTrigger(missionNumber, shortName, active);

        //if the trigger that was called is the trigger that we're looking for
        if (shortName.Equals("PlayerCloseBy") && active)
        {
           GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad("missions/Multi/Dogfight/mymission/train.mis");  // start the train mission
           GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Train just spawned");     // tell train spawned
           GamePlay.gpGetTrigger(shortName).Enable = false;    // turn trigger off
         }
    }

2. No. You can attach trains to "rail" spline roads, but they only go in one direction, unlike vehicles which turn around & go up & down the spline road continously. The best you can do is to destroy the train after it finishes it's journey in one direction & spawn another train going back again.
