Macon and Brunswick Railroad
The Macon and Brunswick Railroad  ran from Macon, Georgia to Brunswick, Georgia. Its construction was interrupted by the American Civil War, and initially only ran from Macon to Cochran, Georgia. The 5 ft (1,524 mm) gauge line was completed and extended to the Georgia coast when it opened in its entirety in December 1869. Construction of the line stimulated the lumber industry along its path, and the founding of new towns and counties.

5 ft and 1520 mm gauge railways
Railways with a railway track gauge of 5 ft (1,524 mm) first appeared in the United Kingdom and the United States. This gauge became commonly known as "Russian gauge", because the government of the Russian Empire chose it in 1843. Former areas and states (such as Finland) of the Empire have inherited this standard. However in 1970, Soviet Railways redefined the gauge as 1,520 mm (4 ft 11+27⁄32 in).

With about 225,000 km (140,000 mi) of track, 1,520 mm is the second-most common gauge in the world, after 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge.

The show is filmed before a live studio audience, but uses a laugh track.

Laugh track
A laugh track (or laughter track) is an audio recording consisting of laughter (and other audience reactions) usually used as a separate soundtrack for comedy productions. The laugh track may contain live audience reactions or artificial laughter (canned laughter or fake laughter) made to be inserted into the show, or a combination of the two.  The use of canned laughter to "sweeten" the laugh track was pioneered by American sound engineer Charles Douglass.

The Douglass laugh track became a standard in mainstream television in the U.S., dominating most prime-time sitcoms and sketch comedies from the late 1950s to the late 1970s. Use of the Douglass laughter decreased by the 1980s upon the development of stereophonic laughter. In addition, single-camera sitcoms eliminated audiences altogether. Canned laughter is used to encourage the viewer to laugh.

Fasciculus retroflexus
The fasciculus retroflexus (FR) also known as the habenulointerpeduncular tract is a bundle of fibers located at the base of the midbrain in vertebrates. Connected to the habenula (Hbn) and the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN), the fasciculus retroflexus is involved in a variety of bodily phenomena, some being sleep retention and drug addiction. It acts as a channel through which messages are sent between the stria medullaris and the mid- and hindbrain. The fasciculus retroflexus, along with the stria medullaris, the habenula, and the medial forebrain bundle forms a unit  for the transfer of neurological impulses. In this unit, the fasciculus retroflexus mediates the transfer of information for processes such as pain, pleasure, and motor control

Stria medullaris
The stria medullaris (SM), (Latin, furrow and pith or marrow) is a part of the epithalamus and forms a bilateral white matter tract of the initial segment of the dorsal diencephalic conduction system (DDCS). It contains afferent fibers from the septal nuclei, lateral preoptico-hypothalamic region, and anterior thalamic nuclei to the habenula. It forms a horizontal ridge on the medial surface of the thalamus on the border between dorsal and medial surfaces of the thalamus. The SM, in conjunction with the habenula and the habenular commissure, forms the habenular trigone. It is considered to be the primary afferent of the DDCS.
