Train speed

A train came, traveling west-to-east. I knew Sveta and Tristan would be boarding it. Had I been on foot, it was the one I would have caught.

When the other train came, traveling the opposite direction, I followed it.

The train was old-fashioned in look, cars linked by couplings, and passengers could move between cars, with the space between each car being open to the air. Periodically passengers would step out to smoke or get fresh air. Most were parents with kids.

At the caboose, a figure had stepped out onto the back. Rain.

He climbed over the railing and jumped, while the train was going well over a hundred miles an hour.
