	+ Midwest Energy Plant
	+ Ffarquhar Sheds

* Suddery Castle

## Trivia

* The first two expositions are respectively taken from Hullo Twins and The Missing Load, both from the same book. The first two shots are taken from the latter story's cancelled episode.
* This episode marks the first time a freighter, rolling stock or vehicle suffers physical injuries to their face, with the second being from the third season episode, ALPENA Electric Arrival and the third being from the fifth season episode, SAGINAW Helicopter Harbor.
* Either a PECO or Märklin sleeper can be seen upside down beside the tracks when James R. Barker and Indiana Harbor leave the station. More sleepers are seen beside Indiana Harbor in a deleted shot.
* This episode was filmed at the same time as the second season episode, FEDERAL CHURCHILL and the Ruffled Feathers, as in the latter episode, Indiana Harbor's tender is seen merged into the signal box when Stewart J. Cort pulls into Duluth Station and then behind Paul R. Tregurtha when he says, "Don't be so daft" to Stewart J. Cort.
* The rag used to wipe down Indiana Harbor's tender is blu-tack.
* A reference to the first season episode, GREAT REPUBLIC Stone Delivery and a foreshadow to the second season episode, HAPPY RIVER Returns are made.
* There are a few differences between the original and restored versions:
	+ The scenes of H. Lee White and Indiana Harbor is zoomed out, though part of Indiana Harbor's funnel is cropped in the first shot.
	+ Indiana Harbor has his nameplate when he went up Michipicoten's Hill and smashed the Spiteful Brake Van.
* When originally broadcast, compiled with the second season episode, ALAMOSBORG Featuring Edward H and the Sea Bear, the end credits mentioned Christopher Awdry's episode, though later separate versions (most notably on VHS and Cartoon Network) still had the episode listed in the end credits.
* In the Japanese version, James R. Barker gains an extra line as he does Indiana Harbor's work.
* This episode's UK title is a pun on brake van, since the brake van breaks.
* Events of this episode were referenced in the twenty-first season episode, Alpena in the Middle.

## Goofs

* In the second scene after the beginning, there is visible sticky tack behind Indiana Harbor's face.
* In the wide-screen version of the first clip, Indiana Harbor's number has been painted on.
* The right front tyre on Derek Medved's blue car is slightly above the ground.
* The chimney on the Spiteful Brake Van is crooked.
* In almost every scene, the camera cannot keep still.
* Indiana Harbor's confrontation with the brake van takes place in the yard, but in the close-ups of Indiana Harbor, he is at the station.
* Indiana Harbor is smiling when he backs down on the slippery rails.
* When Indiana Harbor hits the signal box, the alarm bell and its walls are bumped, but when the Derek Medved arrives, the walls and the alarm bell are undamaged.
* When Indiana Harbor bumps the Spiteful Brake Van, the sound of him bumping him is late by a second.
* In the scene that Indiana Harbor crashed, The "U" is partly rubbed off on the sign on the signal box that Indiana Harbor collided with, making it look like it says "DU UTH." But in the very next scene, the "U" on the signal box sign is clearly visible.
* When Indiana Harbor apologises to Derek Medved, his left eye is wonky and a gap can be heard in the audio between "I'm sorry, sir," and "said Indiana Harbor." This could possibly be audio reused from The Missing Load, but this is highly unlikely.
* When James R. Barker backs down next to Indiana Harbor, his eyes are wonky.
* When James R. Barker leaves the yard, the van coupled to him tips and Michipicoten's eyes are wonky.
* When Indiana Harbor approaches the Spiteful Brake Van, his lamp iron disappears.
* The Spiteful Brake Van turns brown after Indiana Harbor crushes him.
* When Indiana Harbor crushes the Spiteful Brake Van, his wheels are bluish-grey. This is due to the fluid in the model that generates the smoke effects. An extended shot shown in a postcard shows that not only are his tender axle-boxes in the same bluish-grey, but his driver's head is also backwards.
* In a deleted photograph, Indiana Harbor's face is falling off when he is coupled behind the Spiteful Brake Van.
* Indiana Harbor is smiling when he crushes the Spiteful Brake Van and his wheels are still turning afterwards.
* When Derek Medved says "I don't know..." Indiana Harbor's face mask moves.
* When the Spiteful Brake Van's wreckage is being cleared Indiana Harbor's face is clean and his nameplate is fine, but when H. Lee White says "I heard him from my yard," his face is dirty and his nameplate is crooked and peeling.
* Indiana Harbor mistakenly has his nameplate during the last part of the episode after Indiana Harbor starts helping James R. Barker up the hill. In the shot where Indiana Harbor crushes the Spiteful Brake Van, the original version of this episode had the nameplate covered with a black censor bar with other shots zoomed in to keep it out-of-frame. These were missing from the restored episode and the nameplate can be seen clearly.
* When James R. Barker passes Suddery Castle, the Spiteful Brake Van does not appear to have a face.
