Standing next to a fast train can be very dangerous as they can create a
suction effect that will pull you in. A conductor mistakenly put my
grandparents off on the wrong side of a train just as a streamliner passed.
He grabbed the stationary train and his wife and it took all his strength to
hold her. The railroad awarded them free travel on their trains for the rest
of their lives. They never got on another train, free or not.

Awhile back I decided to try some train photography on a somewhat foggy day.
Cased out the tracks, set up as close as possible while being sure I was in
no danger, and chose the 21/3.5 for dramatic perspective on the train. Set
up tripod, focus, aperture, shutter.
