I agee..There would be sufficient time to inspect the track between trains since a work/track permit would be needed..
I smell photoshop.
Your skepticism is understandable. I even hesitated to post it myself as I wondered if the footage was real or manipulated. There is much debate on other forums regarding the authenticity of the video and the general consensus is that it is indeed faked. Place a camera on overpass and record footage of trains going by. Then get your actor on the tracks when it is safe to "jump" out of the way. Overlay the two and bingo. A nicely faked near miss.
Still, its pretty "fun" to watch. :o
