Behind the scenes
- The title is a play on "whistle stop," a bus stop or train station at which the vehicle stops when there are passengers to be picked up or dropped off.
- Although the Barnyard Dawg is not shown in this cartoon, a different type of dog takes his place as Foghorn's foil.
- While uncredited in the opening sequence, Lloyd Perryman, a member of the Sons of the Pioneers, provided the voice of the unnamed dog in this short.
