Found this wild turtle in my backyard. Will it make a good pet?
Turtles are considered pure in heart and peaceful, so it's death is considered vile and if it occurs under the roof of house, it's a bad sign.
How can I transport it safely throughout large distance in train?

No, not unless you have a pond on your property. It is likely illegal to keep wild caught turtles as pets where you live and very young turtles can often die from inexperienced care.
If you want a pet turtle look into mud and musk turtles. They stay small, but also keep in mind turtles can live into their 50s or much longer.

If it's a red eared slider, no one will give a shit if you take it, they're invasive in most places and probably shouldn't be there in the first place, otherwise put it back.
Wild/feral turtles don't make that good pets because they tend to get stressed more easily, can sometimes refuse food, have parasites, and overall will not like you very much. They'll be more prone to hissing and nipping at you compared to captive breds of the same turtle, who will generally be more chill. Sometimes if they're just released pets or still fairly young, they can be acclimated into captivity though.
Either way, it's probably best to let it be on it's way. Turtles are bros
