From the perspective of the train, the people have just as much kinetic energy as the people think the train has. Again, you’re acting as if there is one absolute frame of reference - there isn’t. Physics just doesn’t work the way you think.
This is why all your comments in this thread are wrong, they have one simple logical issue: the people on the tracks aren’t “stationary”. They are stationary to the ground, but not to the train. It’s not correct to say “the train is moving and the people are stationary”, because it’s also just as correct to say “the people are moving and the train is stationary”. Physically both are true at the same time, that’s what general relativity is really about. You can’t look at the scene and decide “only one reference frame is valid”, that would break all of physics.
