This whole "playing with the train" thing reminds me of an Indian movie I had seen several years ago in which the hero tries to do something similar- how long can he be on the tracks in front of an incoming train before jumping off to the side- and well, since it was a movie and he was the hero, he manages to come out successful.
Here is the video of that scene if anyone wants to see.
I remember after this movie was released a few youngsters tried to emulate their hero in real life and the end results were tragic. The railway authorities had to spend substantial money running educational messages discouraging people to try this stunt.
