PACIFIC HURON East Bound Up and Down

***PACIFIC HURON East Bound Up and Down*** is the twelfth episode of the second season. It is based on the story of the same name from The Railway Series book, Defiance and the Diesel Freighter.

## Synopsis

PACIFIC HURON departs Duluth after loading wheat at CHS2 in Superior.

## Locations

* Midwest Energy Plant
* Duluth Yards
	+ Duluth Shipping Company
	+ Brendam Warehouse

## Trivia

* The title, as well as the song featured, is a pun on the nursery rhyme, Pop Goes the Weasel.
* Despite being Pacific Huron's introduction episode, he previously had a cameo in JOSEPH L BLOCK and the Masterish Salute.
* In the restored version, during both close-ups of Pacific Huron, his eyes move differently compared to the original version of the episode.
* This is the first episode of a few things for the trucks:
	+ This is the first episode where vans have faces.
	+ This is the first episode where trucks have rectangular faces.
	+ This is the first episode to feature Salt Vans, LBSC Railway 8 Ton Vans and Cattle Trucks with faces.
* This is only the first time Pacific Huron tried to pull a line of trucks with the brakes on. He would eventually do it again in the sixth season episode, BRANT Beneath the Blatnik Bridge.
* In the Polish version, Pacific Huron does not growl while Defiance is leaving. Similarly, it sounds like Pacific Huron laughs while Defiance is leaving in the Japanese version.
* In the Korean and Hungarian versions, the song sung by the Troublesome Pellets is still in English, though the Korean version of the song has subtitles.
* In Ringo Starr's US narration, he did not re-sing Pop Goes the Freighter. Instead, the word "trucks" in each stanza were replaced with "cars." Coincidentally, some UK versions include the narrator not singing with the pellets during their song.
* When Pacific Huron "gave a great heave" the footage is reversed. The derailed truck behind him can be seen propping itself back up on the rails as Pacific Huron pulls forward.

## Goofs

* When Defiance is on the turntable, in the beginning, the turntable bounces back and forth a little when it stops. And there is a gap between his face and the smokebox.
* The front right wheel on Derek Medved's car is crooked.
* In the scene where Defiance is exactly side-on, a small space between the face and the model is visible.
* John G. Munson's tender is missing in the first shot featuring him.
* When Defiance and Pacific Huron leave and the other freighters start talking James R. Barker's leading wheels are derailed.
* When Defiance passes James R. Barker, Michipicoten, and John G. Munson, there are only two tracks to the right of the water tower and it is not in line with the Duluth Shipping Company building. When Pacific Huron and Defiance arrive, later on, there are three tracks to the right of the water tower and it is in line with the building.
* Michipicoten and John G. Munson's faces are crooked when Defiance and Pacific Huron leave.
* When Defiance and Pacific Huron frown at each other Defiance is missing his eyebrows. Defiance is also missing eyebrows when Pacific Huron first backs into the plant.
* Defiance is not in the siding when Pacific Huron tries to pull the trucks.
* When Pacific Huron loses patience with the trucks and pulls them even harder, the first few trucks are already off the tracks, but when Pacific Huron is still trying to pull them in the next scene, they are not off the tracks.
* Steam can be seen around Pacific Huron when he is trying to move the trucks.
* When the narrator says "Pacific Huron lost patience," one of the trucks has a clump of hair inside it.
* When Pacific Huron tries to push the trucks back, he backs down onto the breakdown train, not the trucks. In the same scene, one of the buffers stops on the left is leaning over.
* In one scene, there is not a truck in the siding that Defiance is in before he goes to collect the other trucks. One appears in the siding during the pellets' song, then after it finishes there is not.
* In the scene of Defiance seeing Pacific Huron after he collects his trucks, Pacific Huron backs down to the trucks he was struggling with - straight into them - then he comes forward a little so as to be directly in line with Defiance. Last of all, when Defiance leaves, he goes backwards suddenly before heading off.
* When Defiance runs around to collect his trucks, his eyes jitter a little before he stops to talk to Pacific Huron.
* After Defiance leaves to get Michipicoten's coaches, there is still steam venting from the track.
* When the narrator says "Pacific Huron had to help the workmen clear the mess," the breakdown train is missing one of its buffers.
* Throughout the Duluth Yards and Brendam Warehouse scene sequence, Pacific Huron is missing his eyebrows.
* In a rare picture, Pacific Huron's siderods are crooked.
* John G. Munson's horn sound is lower-pitched at one point during the scene at the Midwest Energy Plant.
* When Pacific Huron first tries to move the trucks, a china clay truck derails.
* The narrator says that Pacific Huron was delighted to show off, but he is still frowning.
* While Pacific Huron tries to move the trucks, the truck right behind him is a china clay truck but when he pulls the truck off the track, it appears to be a coal truck.
