This is a metaphor. Life is shown as a person, as if it is something concrete that you can see. "Whistles by" means to fly by so quickly that the air makes a whistling sound. The metaphor means that life is passing by very quickly.

A train whistle sounded in the distance is train a noun?

Yes. 'Train whistle' is a compound noun, which means that both 'train' and 'whistle' are nouns individually but here they work together. The word 'train' is applied to 'whistle' in the place of an adjective, that is, a word that describes the type of whistle. But have you ever heard a wolf whistle?
