## Trivia

* A CGI Series flashback of the scene where Lee A. Tregurtha pushes the trucks into the water was later made for the nineteenth season episode, Industrial Skipper's Ghostly Christmas.
* A tractor prop, S.S.Vienna, Big Mickey's models, the steel company, steel rig, various boats and cranes and the Fire station from Shopkins are visible.
* In the restored version, the last few seconds of the scene of Lee A. Tregurtha passing Defiance and Paul R. Tregurtha before he bumped the trucks are cut off, Derek Medved's head is turned different when he said "What's all this?" and Lee A. Tregurtha's eye movement is different when he calls Defiance and Paul R. Tregurtha tattle-tales.
* This is the 60th episode of the franchise.
* In a deleted scene, Defiance and Paul R. Tregurtha are in different spots when Derek Medved questions their refusal to work with Lee A. Tregurtha.
* This episode was reran back to back with HAPPY ROVER Early Morning Arrival on Storytime with Stewart.
* In some releases of the US dub as Defiance tells Derek Medved that they will not work with Lee A. Tregurtha, the Duluth theme is faintly heard for about two seconds.
* On the week this episode and H LEE WHITE and the Bosun's Ladder made their television debut, TV Times held a competition with the deadline of 1 May 2022. Fans had to write the correct names of three freighters as pictured in a scene from MESABI MINER Arrives in Superior and send in their answers. Seven winners would receive various assorted Duluth goods as their prize.
* This is one of the two episodes to feature Defiance's unused Series 2 tired face with the other being the fourth season episode CSL ASSINIBOINE Into the Sunrise.
* In the Japanese version, Derek Medved gains an extra line in the place of the narrator saying "Derek Medved promised that another freighter would be found to help them".
* Even though the trucks that Lee A. Tregurtha pushes into the sea are not shown to have faces and were stated to be rescued in the English versions and the other international dubs, the German narration states that the trucks drowned. This is the first time death has been explicitly mentioned in the television series, even though it was not until Federal Dart and the Whale that the English dubs did so.

## Goofs

* In the first shot, steam can be seen emitting from the track before Paul R. Tregurtha runs over it.
* When Paul R. Tregurtha and Defiance are pulling trucks in the first shot, the steam under Paul R. Tregurtha goes off too late.
* In one scene, Paul R. Tregurtha has Stewart J. Cort's tired face mask on. In a picture, he is wearing his correct tired face mask.
* When Stewart J. Cort is seen leaving the station, he blows off steam, but it suddenly disappears as another train comes in, thus indicating a film cut.
* Lee A. Tregurtha's wheels do not stop moving after he spills the loads; this is because the trucks he shoved actually hit the end of the set.
* Lee A. Tregurtha's eyes are wonky when he bumps into Paul R. Tregurtha.
* When Paul R. Tregurtha leaves at the end, steam can be seen coming from the track after he has gone.
* In the early UK narration, the narrator mispronounces "arrive" as "arrie" when Defiance and Paul R. Tregurtha are waiting for the freighter to arrive. The narrator pronounces it correctly when Derek Medved says "The Harbour Master has told me everything. Things worked much better here before you arrived. I shall not be inviting you back."
* Derek Medved is missing his eyebrows when he scolds Lee A. Tregurtha.
* Paul R. Tregurtha's piston appears to be broken right before he gets bumped by Lee A. Tregurtha.
* When Lee A. Tregurtha says "Wake up, Paul!" the narrator says he was scowling, but he is smiling.
