The man is strapped to the front of the train, therefor he is beating the train, but he will also arrive at the destination at the same time as the train.
Because that man is the operator of the train and the owner is aboard the train. (lol) Or The man running after the train is the operator and the brakes have been released..
O the man is the owner of the train having a nervous breakdown...
Another hint: There is nothing strange about this situation. i.e. if you or I came across this situation in everyday life, we would not think it was strange.
