Behind the scenes
- This short is available in the public domain, due to Warner Bros. failing to renew the copyright in 1958.
- The engine on the train is at first a 2-2-0 engine, but becomes a 0-4-0 while climbing a hill.
- When Nickelodeon aired this short, the audio of Bosko yelling "Mammy!" when he goes through a tunnel is removed,[2] likely due to its implication of Black stereotypes and reference to Al Jolson.
Errors
- N/A
Legacy
- The gag where a cow gets smashed against a tree and becomes an accordion is later reused in Bosko and Bruno.
Home availability
