Continued:Now... I can accept this as they talk about massive velocities if the train car were to be ejected into space...
Until I got thinking further... Say 8000 km/s tangential velocity what would the centripetal force actually be? A quick Google and calculation later give around 420 Newton's... Around 42 times the 'gravity' of earth at the rim of the bowl.... Ouch...

Just got to the bit where they are 'outside' the bowl and the rotation of the bowl is mentioned as taking 32 hours, so it takes a bit longer for the stars to move than on earth .... But earth is a planet, spinning on its access, not the edge of a bowl completing a compete *orbit* of it's sun in 32 hours
So a bit of calculation, assuming the bowl is 1au in radius gives a tangential velocity of 7700+ kilometres per sec
