你好,青草冬人. 我来试着回答一下.如不满意可以追问.
The train （on which she is travelling）is arriving.
回答：小括号是个定语从句.该从句的先行词是 the train.在定语从句中,连词（which, that ）的功能是引导定语从句,但是不要忘了,它还等于这个先行词.
on which = on the train 那么这个定语从句等于 she is traveling on the train . on which （on the train）在这个定语从句中用作“方式状语”.符合语境条件.
如果用连词where： where 在引导定语从句的同时,还在这个从句中充当“地点状语”.前面的先行词必须是一个地点名词.这里的train不是表示地点的名词.
我们还可以假设这个地点状语是 where = in Beijing,那么这句话 where she is traveling = （in Beijing she is traveling）,就不符合语境条件.
试比较：她旅行坐的火车即将到达.她在北京旅行的火车即将到达.哪个通顺?
