Re: The relativity of simultaneity

Regarding Einstein�s train gedanken depiction of the Relativity of
Simultaneity.

In �Relativity the Special and General Theory� Einstein points out
that from the stationary observer�s point of view (M) flash B (toward
which the train is moving) will reach the passenger before flash A.

Will flash B arrive at the passenger�s location at the same point
relatively to the platform as seen by the stationary observer?

I.e. if there is a second stationary observer (S) located at the point
where, according to M, flash B arrives at the passenger�s location
will the passenger see flash B when he is at the same location as S?
Yes.
