- This book once came free with a Thomas Magazine.
- Even though in the television series Donald and Douglas stayed black, in this book, Donald's paint is blue, like it was in The Railway Series.
Goofs
- In the last illustration, Donald does not have a tender, since a coach is coupled right behind his cab.
