Think of the pressure required to make the steam/exhaust/whatever shoot straight up like that, at speed. The plume should be bent back over the top of the loco to an extent, shouldn't it? Maybe I'm having a stroke.

Here's the sum of my knowledge of trains, btw: They're big, long, and loud.

Don't know how fast this was going. But it's on a curve, so maybe a little slower than normal.

this one looks like it's in a switching yard, so maybe it's slow too.

Enough. Here's a panning shot of a speeding locomotive. Note the areas that are blurred.
