The pitch (frequency) would be lower due to Doppler shift.
If the train is moving at a constant velocity, and therefore in an intertial reference frame, then, no, you could not tell that you were moving.
The clock on train B would appear to be the same width and to run at the same rate
If the wind wasn't blowing and the train was moving it would blow south. If the train was stopped and the wind was blowing east the steam would be blowing east. Because the train is moving and the wind is blowing it would be moving both to the south and the east. diferent answer by another person me... An electric train does not have steam!!!!!!!
Since you are also on the moving train, the pitch should remain constant.

Relative motion. To talk about a train moving at a certain speed usually means that the train is moving at a certain speed relative to a stationary observer (relative to the ground). This however also means that a passenger traveling in said train would experience the ground (and every other stationary object) as the moving object. This is why a stationary train may seem to be moving to passengers of an already moving train.
At the train station
If the train is moving at 50 mph and the passenger is walking at 2 mph, people on the train would see her moving at 2 mph, while people outside the train would see her moving at 48 mph. 50mph - 2 mph = 48 mph

This is known as the Doppler effect. As the train approaches you, the wavelength of the sound waves it emits are compressed, and therefore the whistle sounds higher. When the train is moving away, the wavelengths are extended, causing the whistle to sound lower. If the train were not moving at all, the pitch you would hear from the whistle would be somewhere between the high and low pitches you hear when the train is moving.
