Trivia

• He and Stacy played a much larger role in the original director's cut of Thomas and the Magic Railroad, as they try to figure out how Shining Time has begun to change after the gold dust's disappearance and P.T. Boomer's arrival. Britt Allcroft described the removal of Russell Means from the film as "shocking" in a 2020 interview, claiming a film executive requested his scenes be removed because he could not understand him. Most of Means’ lines were also redubbed via ADR for the final cut, as this same executive claimed that his voice was hard to understand.
• He is in his late fifties in the film.
• In Shining Time Station, Billy is shown to have expertise in both steam and diesel locomotives and can drive both.
