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. Fran
