Corrected entry: When Clara and Doc are hanging off the train barely, Marty lets the hoverboard go so Doc can save himself and Clara, which he does. When he pulls away from the train, the camera is shooting from Marty's P.O.V. and it shows Doc pulling ahead of the train and past the Delorean. He would slow down if anything, not speed up, especially holding Clara.

Corrected entry: When the car and train go past the windmill, Marty yells to Doc they are going over 60 and he'll never make it back in time. But about a minute later Marty looks at the speedometer and it just then passed 60.
Correction: Once the train reached its top speed, it was up to the "logs" to make it go faster. This was not done by a steady acceleration, but rather a burst that increased the DeLorean and the train's speed, which remained at that speed until the next log. If you will notice, after the log blows that accelerates them to just over 60 mph, the car remains at that speed until the last log blows, so the speedometer in the shot you referenced should still be reading just over 60 mph even a minute after Marty tells Doc they just passed 60 mph. Not a mistake.

Correction: There is no way to know how a hoverboard from the future is supposed to perform when accelerated to 80+ mph from a moving object, as its limitations and/or functions are never revealed to the viewer.
