• There is no sign of Martin Colvin since his and Miss Audrey's failed mutiny in The Tortoise and the Hare.
• While contacting Wilford, Layton identifies the pirate train as Snowpiercer while calling Wilford's train Big Alice, the first time that Wilford's train has been called by either designation since the separation.
• Bennett tells Javi in Spanish "abre una cerveza, amigo" which translates to "open a beer, friend."
• Wilford surrenders and Layton takes back both trains which are reconnected.
• Sam Roche and his family are rescued from the Drawers by Bess Till and Doctor Pelton. However, Anne has died.
• Strong Boy is tortured to death by Kevin McMahon whom LJ Folger kills in retaliation in order to be on the right side of history.
