Trivia[]

  • Going by production order, this is the thirteenth episode of the twenty-fourth series.
  • This is Ruth's final episode with a leading role.
  • This marks the last of few things:
    • The final appearances and speaking roles of Sonny and Rocky.
    • The final appearance of Harold and Sir Topham Hatt's Car in the original series.
    • The finale episode where David Stoten writes the episode by himself.
    • Toby's final speaking role in the original series as well as his final starring role.
    • The final episode to feature the newly updated Engine Roll Call song at the end.
    • Dianna Basso's final episode as consulting director and the last episode to have her involved in production.
  • This marks the Rickety Old Bridge’s two things:
    • Its only appearance following its first appearance in the sixth series episode, Toby Had a Little Lamb and thus its final appearance overall.
    • Its only appearance in full CGI.
  • This episode marks the first of two things:
  • In Poland, this episode premiered before A New Arrival, so the audience would not know who Sonny or Ruth are.
  • When Harold warns Toby to stop when the bridge had broken, it is similar to how he saved Toby in the fifth series episode, Toby and the Flood.
  • This episode was never aired in Germany and South Korea.
  • In the Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Baltic Russian dubs, the UK dub can be heard in the background as a dubbing track was not used.
  • In the UK dub, one shot of Toby on the walking bridge crossing the ravine starts with the tram saying "Are we there yet?" in a frantic manner. In the US dub, this is instead replaced with more of Toby whimpering.

Goofs[]

  • When Rocky is loading parts of the broken bridge into Emily's trucks, his piston rods are floating.
  • The support cables on Thomas' flatbeds are angled a short distance farther from the load.
