Two trains, AA and BB, are 170170 miles apart. At time t=0t=0, the two trains start heading towards each other, with train AA going 4747 miles per hour and train BB going 3838 miles per hour.

At the same time, an unusually fast hummingbird starts moving at 7575 miles per hour from train AA towards train BB. Once it reaches train BB, it will instantly turn around and move back towards train AA, then turn around once it reaches AA, etc; all the while still moving at 7575 miles per hour until the trains pass each other.

How many miles does the hummingbird travel by the time the trains pass?
