The Arkhangelsk-Astrakhan line, or A-A line for short, was the military goal of Operation Barbarossa.

Writing for "The Spectator", Graham Greene praised the film's documentary prologue as "an exciting piece of pure cinema", and commented that the story which follows "has some of the magnificent drive one felt behind the classic Russian films, behind "Earth" and "The General Line": no tiresome 'message', but a belief in the importance of a human activity truthfully reported".  Greene also noted, however, that "the photography is uneven: at moments it is painfully 'arty', deliberately out of focus".

The station was built in 1883 by the Grand Trunk Railroad linking Oxford with Montreal and Portland, Maine.  The village grew especially after the arrival of the St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad toward the end of 1840.  The railroad opened the village to several business ventures between Portland and Montreal.  The railroad passes through the midst of the town, in the same general line with the river, and has a station (Oxford Depot) a short distance south of the centre.

A general store (also known as general merchandise store, general dealer or village shop) is a rural or small town store that carries a general line of merchandise.  It carries a broad selection of merchandise, sometimes in a small space, where people from the town and surrounding rural areas come to purchase all their general goods.  The store carries routine stock and obtains special orders from warehouses.  It differs from a convenience store or corner shop in that it will be the main shop for the community rather than a convenient supplement. In the terminology of communism, the general line of the party or simply the general line refers to the directives of the governing bodies of a party (usually a communist party) which define the party's politics.  The term (Russian: Генеральная линия партии general'naya liniya partii) was in common use by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (since its early days under other names) and also adopted by many other communist parties around the world.  The notion is rooted in the major principle of democratic centralism, which requires unconditional obedience to top level decisions at all party levels.
