Trivia[]
- References to the TV Series episodes Off the Rails, Whistles and Sneezes, Gordon and the Famous Visitor, A Better View for Gordon, Gordon Takes a Tumble and Gordon Takes Charge, and the Season 9 episode Tender Bender, and the Season 11 episode Old Square Wheels are made.
- When Sir Topham Hatt and the engines were talking about the The Railway Inspector messing everything up Gordon and Edward's tenders were switched like Gordon had Edward's tender and Edward had Gordon's tender for one shot but in the next shot they both had their original tenders again.
- The reason why Gordon had Edward's tender and Edward had Gordon's tender for one shot was because it was a secret "24" in the video to honor NASCAR driver; Jeff Gordon, because 2015 was his final NASCAR season as a full-time driver.
- This episode marks Victor’s last appearance until Oliver’s Eleven.
- This episode was originally going to be titled Is This the End?, which was an episode from the first season of Shining Time Station.
