To find the speed of the train, you can use the formula for speed:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
In this case, the distance traveled by the train is 97.49 miles and the time it traveled is 2 hours.
Substituting the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{97.49 \text{ miles}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 48.745 \text{ miles per hour}
\]
Therefore, the train was traveling at a speed of approximately \(48.75\) miles per hour.
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
In this case, the distance traveled by the train is 97.49 miles and the time it traveled is 2 hours.
Substituting the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{97.49 \text{ miles}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 48.745 \text{ miles per hour}
