Is it possible at all to work from a train in motion?

Merhebe Bekir,

Yes, you can operate from a train, see LA5XOA's story from last year about
LA1TRAIN - LA9TRAIN where they also operated in motion from a steam-powered
train: http://193.213.26.174/main_trip_train.htm?1148454757239

I think you will have a fun time doing this!

Yes, 2-meters is no problem, HF may be a bit harder but not  
impossible. Our trains here are kinda noisy though, I swear some of  
those cars have square wheels! 73 de Alex NS6Y

With all the metal close to practical antennas, it is much more difficult
than automobile mobile.  It is the restriction on height and width of the
antennas compared to train size.

You may do best with low dipole and be content with NVIS technique.
(Contacts out to 800 miles are possible).  DX is much harder to work.
