The test pics are self-explanatory. :-)
The K-3 II is improved and better.

some improvement over the k-3 but not much. only about 10% better hit rate. i wonder how the new 7d performs in the same situation?
Hit rate (although improved more than you say) is not the important parameter here
because it naturally drops with decreasing distance.
Important is the smallest distance at which the AF prediction still works. In the K-3 II
case it seems to work to about four times smaller distance, where DOF is 16 times
smaller, or, down to some 15 meters where the DOF is like half a meter, much less
than frame separation as the train was doing several meters between frames, if I
read correctly.

Thats interesting. I think any improvements should be welcome at this point. The K-3 II has greatly improved SR too.
