Credits scroll backwards.

Goofs: We know about 3 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Factual errors: The illuminated numbers seen on the locomotives should show the locomotive number, not the train number. (It is true that there are instances where the lead locomotive number may be used as a train number, but that cant be the case here because here because the train number was known in advance. And even if it was, the trains second locomotive would still show a different number.)

Trivia: There are 10 entries in the trivia list – like these:

• Marlon Brando replaced Stanley Kubrick as director.
• Paramounts last release in VistaVision.
• After buying the rights to the novel, producer Frank P. Rosenberg worked on the first draft of the script together with Rod Serling. Sam Peckinpah was then hired to rewrite it. A complex deal was then made where money earlier spent attempting to develop Louis LAmours novel “To Tame a Land” into a film was allocated for accounting purposes to this film, and Stanley Kubrick was hired as director. Kubrick fired Peckinpah and brought in Calder Willingham for more rewriting, but later Rosenberg fired him and hired Guy Trosper instead.
