Answer: The ride last 23 hours from start to finish.

Explanation:

The distance is equal to 1311 miles.

We know that the train travels 57 miles per hour.

The total time that the train needs to travel that distance is:

Time = distance/velocity

t = 1311 mi/ (57 mi/h) = 23 hours.

The ride lasts 23 hours from start to finish.
