Problem 13.1  Which Way?

Jane unwisely used a railway bridge to cross the canal.  She is at point A (one-quarter of the way across the bridge) when she turns and sees a train coming at her at a constant speed.  At this moment, the train is exactly one bridge length from her at point T.  Which way should she run to save her life?
