Bug Description
If the train starts off following a path within the precipitation box in a relatively straight line, everything is fine. But, if the path within the box happens to make an extreme change of direction within the box, the precipitation box fails to adjust to this. So, what starts off with plenty of precipitation such as snow down the track, turns into a situation where the train is chasing the edge.
This is noticeable if you run Scenic Sub 1 activity, "ACT 3 Eastbound Stack". The activity starts off fine with snow being properly displayed ahead of the train since it is following a straight line, but once the train takes the line that heads east, the line nearly turns the train around in the Precipitation box, the snow ahead of the train starts to thin out and the edge of the box can be seen.
I am currently attempting to understand the issue to fix this, but if someone else who has a better understanding of coordinates can solve this, then go for it.

I've not double-checked, but from memory the intended behaviour is that the precipitation box follows the *target* of the camera around. If it is oriented at all, it should be based on the camera. It may well not be oriented as, the box used to be the same X and Z size IIRC.
