I am not aware of any grammatical rule that would prohibit someone from using the word would twice in a single question. However, when I tried to think of a few examples, I kept noticing that the question would improve significantly if there was only one would.
However, in some situations, you can get away with would twice, if you include a word like just or even:
Back to your question; I'd phrase it like this:
There is no need to for the second would (it doesn't accomplish anything, except to make the sentence more awkward). The word still informs the reader in that the person currently takes the train; I think it's a critical word in this context. The word even is not quite as vital, but I still think it helps express the hypothetical nature of the question.
