Assuming they instantly reach their speed (ie don't spend time accelerating like in the real world), they will meet 45 miles from station A.
During that 30 minutes the train from A will have gone 15 miles, so it's then 90 miles between it and the train leaving B.
A does 30 miles in 1 hour. B does 60 miles in 1 hour, so they meet 1 hour after B leaves. So 60 miles from B, and 45 from A. (As stated above)
