When the trains are 30 km apart, a bird resting at the front of one train takes off and flies at a constant speed of 50 km/hour to the other train. As soon as the bird reaches the other train, it instantly turns around and flies back to the original train, and keeps repeating this back and forth at the same constant speed until the trains collide.  How far will the bird have flown at the time of the collision? Enter your answer as the nearest whole number of kilometers.
