- Diesel's Full of Surprises musical number features recreated scenes from the second series episode Pop Goes the Diesel and the sixth series episode The World's Strongest Engine.
- Thomas, Paxton and Philip being hidden under crates is a callback to Diesel's plan from the 2016 special The Great Race.
- Class 40 lying that the crates he is pulling are full of bowler hats is a callback to the fourth series episode Bowled Out.
- The Horrid Lorries referring to Diesel's Cronies as "smashed, broken and sunk" is a callback to the nicknames given to them by Thomas in fifth series episode Horrid Lorry.
- The title of the third part of the series, The Crate Escape!, is a play on the title of the 1963 film The Great Escape.
- Part of the background music for the "Eye of Sodor" bonus scene is an instrumental cover of the sixth series song Down by the Docks.
