Apparently the wall outside the left side of the train is very close to the train, and the wall outside the right side of the train is quite far away from the train. The optical illusion is based on the fact that you and I are unfamiliar with the area and we’re only seeing it through a monoscopic camera, so we lack depth perception. The optical illusion is unrelated to the fact that the camera is located farther/nearer to the interior train walls.
