I would think there is a Lorentzian conversion of the paint going from a near C 
frame to a stationary frame.. the tracks will appear  further away from the 
under carridge because the train is  displaced /shrinking away from the axis of 
spatial displacement  at an angle between time and the spatial vector. Never 
able to reach C from our perspective just get smaller and “slower” once past 45 
degrees.

This is an interesting thought experiment.  I'm curious how the people at 
physics.stackexchange.com<http://physics.stackexchange.com> would reply to it.
