There are tsunamis and there are tsunami trains.
A tsunami is generated by an underwater earthquake. A new tsunami has to wait for a new earthquake. It is not uncommon for any earthquake to be followed by one or more aftershocks within a matter of hours or days, so a new tsunami can result similarly. Since earthquake behavior is notoriously unpredictable, so is tsunami generation.
A single tsunami results in a series of waves with periods ranging from minutes to hours. This is called the tsunami "wave train".

How do tsunamis appear?
A tsunami is a big word for a very large tidal wave. They often occur before, during or after a major earthquake near a coastline. If you are near the ocean and see a tsunami coming in, it is too late to do anything about it. The best place to be when this disaster occurs is to be on higher ground. If you are far enough away from the tsunami but still in danger, it is best to head in the direction of higher ground as soon as possible. A tsunami will mean more than one wave is approaching of dangerous levels. You can prevent loss of life by steering clear of the beach area when you hear a tsunami warning. You can better improve your chances for survival in emergencies by obtaining a home safety emergency plan that has detailed instructions on how to survive disasters. Some people take first aid courses to ensure the safety of themselves and their family. By taking the above steps, you can ensure a higher level of safety for you and those that you love. Have a wonderful day!
