James Bond is trying to jump from a bridge and land on the first car of a moving train that is going to pass under the bridge. The train moves at 85 km/h and the vertical height between the bridge and the top of the carriage is 15 m. if Bond gets a running start of 4.2 m/s horizontally as he leaps off the bridge, where would the train be ( relative to the bridge ) when he jumps off?

which way horizontally is he running? Wouldn't that matter?
I would assume in the same direction as the train
