so how did she feel the train when it was coming back and how did she run to it? wouldnt it seem they could have dropped her off closer to it or was that the whole think about needing speed to go over the mountain?

That's the whole point in the thread...they made it seem like the station was pretty damn far away (dangerous journey, she needs a snowmobile, had to jump perilously from the train, etc. But then showed her as close enough to feel the train. Now, a train like SP...I imagine you could feel it from pretty far away being that it is much larger than any train before it, and also 1000+ cars long. But still, I wouldn't think you could feel it from miles away, which is how far they made it seem.

The only thing I see with Stu's research is that maybe this:

..could mean that it's a relatively easy/quick way to get back to the tracks? Like the uphill journey is hard/long, but all you have to do to get back is "ride" gravity downhill and back to the train? I don't know, that's about the only way it seems feasible to me.
