Yes, but the oncoming train will seem *more* foreshortened.

Not ... exactly. The problem isn't that he doesn't fall far enough. The 
problem is that the bottom of the train starts falling before the top 
does, kind of.

And in that case, there are only two speeds involved (the track and the 
train), rather than the three in Warp's original problem.
