Motion effect in The Fabelmans train scene

[Ruth Vilas]

I was watching a scene from The Fabelmans and wanted to ask about a specific visual effect. It’s the moment when the women are inside the train. There’s this fast motion effect happening on them.

Does anyone know how this was done?

Thanks in advance!

This is a scene from "The Greatest Show on Earth (de Mille, 1952). It doesn't look like undercranking to my eye but I'm no expert; I wonder if Spielberg just increased the speed in post. You could check the original if you have the DVD or a download.
