How to unlock the Assassin Vs. Machine achievement in Dishonored - Definitive Guide
First, select Train Runner on NORMAL. At the start use Blink and aim right above the catwalk. Sprint a few steps, then use Blink again to shoot yourself over the gap to where the purple catwalk is and keep following the path til you see a set of stairs. The trick is to go up the stairs, climb up the train bumper and wall so you can Blink to the train passing by. If done right, all you need to do is keep moving forward while the train is going and Blink a couple more times til you get to the arrival way point.
Below is a video I captured to demonstrate how to do it.

In order to even complete Train Runner, you need to shoot for about a 36 second completion time(though it varies*), and in order to beat the train, you need to finish about a second/second and a half faster. Do not worry if you are really close to finishing and you hear the trains brakes stop, as there is still a fraction of a second of leeway between when the train's brakes stop, and when you must complete the challenge. Only once you have crossed the white threshold and the challenge complete screen comes up, will the achievement pop for you.
*The time needed to beat the train seems to vary player by player. Whether that is the games mechanics, or it's a glitch is unclear.
Head straight from the start, blink to the back right so you can go through the table and end up passed the covered area. Keep going RIGHT, agility jump up to a roof covering a purple lantern area, and blink from there down to the lower area. Jump the small gap (this area has the giant wheels on Expert), then sprint up the slope. Follow the video from here until you reach the train station. Once you reach the station; from the staircase, blink on top of the small structure in front of you, and then blink straight ahead to the roof above the trains tracks that is between you and the finish line.
