When the train is too far behind, players are disallowed from continuing north. This is done by teleporting the player back south with a warning message to the player. However (especially with high movement speeds) it is possible the player will be teleported next to a void tile and get stuck.
This happened twice on the same spot yesterday... and somehow I don't have the screenshot anymore. It looked kinda like this:
X is pathable tile. O is void. Where --- is the first disallowed tile by height.
XXXXX
XXXOO
---XXOOO---
XXxOO
Trying to recall what happened: The first player was teleported to small x and called for help. Then when I came running at full speed, I went past the line diagonally (going top-right) and got teleported to the same spot and so we got stuck together while being attacked by worms.
We barely managed to escape by exploding a chest and generating another earth tile to move on.
Similarly a little earlier I got stuck-teleported behind the unmine-able zone border wall. It was not as bad but still annoying:
L is border wall (can only be destroyed by shooting) and W is water. Factorio desided to teleport me BETWEEN the border wall and water. Thus I was unable to move left or right and could only shoot myself free.
