44 mph

Let the speed of the faster train= x mph and slower train=(x-6) mph
Relative speed while travelling towards each other=x + (x-6) = (2x-6) mph
After starting at 10:00 am, trains meet at 1:30 pm i.e. in 3.5 hrs or 7/2 hrs.
So time taken when they meet = 287/(2x-6) = 7/2
=> 41*2 = 2x-6 or x=44
