Regarding Einstein’s train gedanken depiction of the Relativity of
Simultaneity.

In ‘Relativity the Special and General Theory’ Einstein points out
that from the stationary observer’s point of view (M) flash B (toward
which the train is moving) will reach the passenger before flash A..

Will flash B arrive at the passenger’s location at the same point
relatively to the platform as seen by the stationary observer?

No, of course not. The train moves along the track, carrying the
passenger with it, while the light signal propagates.
Here, does this help?

I think one of us may have misunderstood the question.

Apparently, and I have no doubt who. Hopefully the link to the
animation will answer the question for the OP anyway.

I have a video that shows the Wicked Witch of the West
melting so I have never doubted that witches can do that.

If you have a video that shows light moving as a massive
particle, then it must be true.

But it doesn't move as a massive particle. Massive particles don't
move at c.
