I've thought about the plan a little bit more. There's a core postulate in every Breaking Bad caper, dating back to the first season. In fact, it dials into what makes Walter White so fascinating as a character. The postulate is: if you can control enough variables, anything is possible. The train caper is just another application of the scientific approach that has served Walt so well throughout the show. It's a compelling combination of amorality and the scientific method.
The train and magnet capers were Jesse's ideas, though. It's kind of interesting how Walt's plans have gradually devolved to murder conspiracies as Jesse's have gotten more complex. One of the themes seems to be that what Jesse learns from Walt, Walt himself forgets.
