- Emily, the Brown Troublesome Truck and Harold's only appearances in the season finale.
- The final episode storyboarded by Troy Sullivan.
- From this episode onwards, Edward regains his whistle sound from the original series, although he previously had his original whistle sound in the first season episode, No Power, No Problem!.
- The plot is similar to the original series episode, Thomas and the Sounds of Sodor.
- James and the Green Troublesome Truck are the only major characters in All Engines Go to not appear in this episode.

- Aside from singing the song, Gordon has no dialogue in this episode.
- According to Craig Carlisle, the line where the Brown Troublesome Truck mentions having a mother was not in the original script he wrote. Instead, the line was meant to be "I can be as quiet as a sleeper car."[1]
- The UK dub uses the official music video version of Song of Sodor.
Goofs[]
- In the UK dub, when Nia screams with rage, she has her US voice.
- When Edward races past Nia, all the wheels on his right side are missing, and in another scene, he has Gordon's whistle sound.
- In the overhead scene of Vicarstown, Annie is facing backwards, but in the shot inside Vicarstown, she turns around.
- Neil Crone and Will Harrison-Wallace are not credited as Gordon in the credits for the US and UK dubs respectively.
- Also, when Gordon sings the last line with the others, his voice was not heard. This was fixed in the official music video version.
