Solution and Explanation
- English fixes certain prepositions to certain vehicles: "in" for a car or taxi, "on" for a bicycle or on foot, and "by" for train, bus, plane, and ship.
- Since the sentence names a train, the fixed collocation "by train" applies.
- Replacing "in" with "by" gives the grammatically correct sentence.
Correct answer: By.
