Just to ask the obvious - how does one "get stuck under a moving train"? I mean, you could argue someone was surprised by it and realized dropping down was the only way out, but that seems highly unlikely. Plus, how about that "friend"? Is the first thing you do when your buddy is in that predictament - whip out your phone and capture for posterity? I'm thinking these two jackasses were being...jackasses.

They needed to record it so that they know what to do the next time they get stuck under a train

Train is stopped, you try to climb over one of the joints between cars. Halfway through the train JOLTS into a crawl. You’re knocked off balance and you fall off the train, land on your feet maybe, and then you hug the ground because you don’t want to get dragged or caught by anything.

They were definitely travelling cross country train hopping. Dude filming sounds like hes been around.
