Trivia
- Going by production order, this is the fifth episode of the twenty-fourth series.
- This episode marks the first of several things:
- The first episode where Emily has her number 12, as she gains it in this episode, despite Thomas and the Royal Engine airing first, and the first episode where an engine's number is painted on them on-screen (not counting The Adventure Begins).
- The first appearance of taxis since the fifteenth series.
- The siren sound is the same heard in the TUGS episode, Munitions.
- When the safety inspector asks Thomas to blow his whistle, it budges up and down similarly to how it did between the thirteenth and sixteenth series and in The Adventure Begins.
Goofs
- When the safety inspector asks Rebecca, Thomas and Nia to test their whistles, the steam emits above Nia's whistle.
- When Emily says "There's no point in two of us getting Rocky," her front bogie wheels are not moving.
- When Rebecca brakes her front wheels also lock up, despite not having brakes.
- James' front wheels are not moving just before he crashes into Percy.
- When James derails, his tender wheels stop moving before his tender actually stops.
- In the aerial shot of the crash at the level crossing, a policeman vanishes in the last frame.
- When Gordon approaches the level crossing, some of the car models have changed.
