The people are to close to the tracks! Thats why they don't run any steam! Those guys need to stay back a little

damn everyone got to see this enine running but me I was on Amtrak going west on the Empire Builder and the damn BNSF dispacher decided to hold them outside of Havre Montana thus makeing us on the Amtrak miss there arrival into Havre and we passed them at track speed and I wasnt able to get a shot from the Amtrak train window we were to close to each other passing all I saw was the orange go by I was so mad at that damn dispacher

Good point. The telephoto lense condenses the linear distance to create the illusion that objects are much closer together than they actually are.
For some perspective on the guy w'/the green shirt: He moves out of the way @1:36. The train reaches his position @1:49., 13 seconds later. That's a long distance. For comparison, the train passes under the camera @ 2:07. Back up the vid 13 seconds to 1:54 and you will understand why the guy in the green shirt isn't quite as insane as he appears when veiwing him thru a "zoomed" telephoto lens.
