Most locomotives have video cameras now for safety and legal purposes. If there's a crossing accident or a death of someone on the track, they can pull the camera and view what happened. As far as I know, the camera is always running when the locomotive is powered up, so it would have been recording even if running backwards.

Impressive, but two questions:
(1) Why are they filming in the first place?
(2) Why aren't the trees moving?

Also, in the audio, why can you hear the train on the tracks, but you don't hear the tornado?

The sudden sustained loud noise is the tornado. It's just a wall of sound and probably doesn't sound as awesome as the tornado IRL
