It takes bravery, determination, the right amount of mind altering substance, a combination of the previous or whatnot. One thing is for sure, you know full well the train is coming, you have time to at least think briefly about what is coming if not the urge, even if too late, to save yourself and try to self preserve. I mean, think about it, it is not like a sword beheading when you are not exactly sure of the instant the sword falls. With the train, you feel the rail vibrate, you hear the sound of the wheels clicking in the rail as it approaches. Ever stand by the rails at a train station and hear the sounds in the rails for a few seconds before the train approaches?

I would call this a faker

Looks real enough to me the hot wheels might have carterised the veins so not much blood to see

Why wouldn't the heat and compression from the wheels cauterize the wounds and keep the blood in the body and head? The train cut the neck quickly, so the head just fell, like it used to do from the guillotine into the basket.

If someone wanted to stage it, and if blood would be required, that would be easy to fake, just buy a gallon of catsup.

The kid had courage to lie there and wait as the train approached. He could hear it, see it, and feel it coming.

It was his life and his to use or to end however he wanted.
