on the train is more natural and commonly used.
you can use inside, if you need to focus on “inside” vs. “outside”
there are 200 people inside the train who were trapped and 80 people outside who were already rescued.

On the train is more natural. I'm getting on the train at New York City. I'm on the train now and there are 20 people inside the train with me.

@iquit said it perfectly 🤩

If there was a train wreck and they were being specific about the situation, here is how it would look:

There were 150 passengers in the train when it crashed. Currently there is 20 tons of rubble on the train, making rescue operations difficult.
