In my conversations with some of the McCloud Railway employees who worked on that video, they did have one of the band members (or a double) on site at the Lake Britton bridge, standing on one end of the bridge with his back to the train. A nearby spotter was supposed to tell him when to move, and one one of the first takes the engineer didn't think the guy was moving in time and gave a short blast or two on the air horn...engineer reported he had never seen anyone move that fast...
Filming at the bridge took two days, one night they brought a couple hundred hamburgers out, the next night something like 80 pizzas...definately would have taxed the ability of the Burney area eating establishments to cook food...
