Is there a reason that 'juste' is used with rater?

Is it being used to describe the degree to which the train was missed?

This question relates to:French lesson "Expressing the close past in French using "venir de" + [infinitive] (Le Passé Proche)"

Bonjour Stuart !

"Juste" can be used with the expression "venir de" + infinitive to indeed insist on how close from now the action happened. It is not specific to "rater", and applies rather to the use of "venir de".

I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !
