I'd imagine that it would be hard to find any effect on train efficiency from even sustained winds, since the train's relationship to wind direction changes, as does the effect of nearby topography and buildings on wind direction.

That's not say that wind can't affect trains: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYubpuIe3cw
