This guide might not be the most optimal but this is how I got it on Hard.

Posse
  • Deer (loot the locker)
  • Flynn (take over the train w/ Gin)
Equipment
  • Deer - pair card (I used Jack of Diamonds and Clubs)
  • Flynn - atleast a +2 speed card or trinket
  • Gin - Blue Dynamite and remaining + speed trinket & cards.

Looting the Locker
Dismount Deer at the back of the starting carriage next to the ladder to the roof of the carriage behind (should cost 1 AP). Use his Wild Run to kill the nearest sharpshooter on the roof then kill the other sharpshooter. Then have him run straight to the locker and interact/loot it.
Taking over the train
Dismount and move Flynn to the 2nd carriage ahead of the starting carriage next to a ricochet target. Shadow Swap Gin then move him near the group of 4 bandits located behind the coal cart (2 AP) then use the Blue Dynamite which should kill 2 sharpshooters. Then with the bravado, have him go straight to the lever to interact.

I have tried this plan as well as the one using Flynn to open the safe and LD to trip the lever in the engine - but in both cases I get the message that there are not enough Action Points to cross the space to get to the lever despite the fact that I have all 3 and the intervening space is minimal. Any ideas as to what may be the problem?

excellent guide
this is also the easiest way to get "bring a knife to a gunfight" achievement, i think
