If X and Y are very close together in space when the beam is sent, sure. If 
X is on the tracks and Y is on the train, and they each set off the 
flashbulb as the arm on the side of the train strikes the pole stuck by the 
side of the tracks, wouldn't that be a simultaneous event? I mean, the 
contacts touch once, and there's only one contact, so how could it not be 
the same time for both flashbulbs?
