Excellent input. But not the fault of the Einstine, but those wannabe 
interpreting him. 

At that time Einstein, and even today the many, are not aware that the 
Train may only speed up to a Half of the Speed of Light, relative to the 
embankment. For obvious reason of course, even as a gedanken. Thanks.
