Explanation:

- The sentence talks about waving to the train and is looking to use a word that indicates location or existence.

- Options:

- Option 1: "that" - This is usually a relative pronoun or a demonstrative adjective, not fitting as a location or existence descriptor here.

- Option 2: "there" - Correct. "There" is used to indicate existence or presence, fitting perfectly after "though" to suggest the absence of people in the train.

- Option 3: "this" - Typically used to point out something specific, not fitting for suggesting absence or existence in this context.

- Option 4: "here" - Usually refers to something nearby, not fitting for suggesting absence or presence in a past context.
