Trivia

Special Guest Stars this episode are Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay, and Mike Smith, who play Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles (respectively) from the Canadian show Trailer Park Boys.
Being led onto the train at the beginning of the episode, Kenny Bilko (Wells) screams "extraordinary rendition." Extraordinary rendition is a term used to describe the kidnapping and extrajudicial transfer of a person from one state to another. It has historically been used by the United States against suspected terrorists.
Cyril is reading Three-Ten to Yuma by Elmore Leonard during the first scene on the train.
Bilko is a member of The New Scotland Front, an alleged terrorist group, fighting for a "free and sovereign Nova Scotia". In the Trailer Park Boys the story takes place in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, a suburb of Halifax . All 3 guest stars are from Nova Scotia.
Lana saying "Well thanks, Gomez" is a reference to The Addams Family patriarch crashing toy trains together.
Mr. Green Jeans was Hugh Brannum's character on Captain Kangaroo.
Mallory does not want Pam to board the train at all for fear that she may stow away, "just like on the blimp". This is a reference to the Season 1 episode "Skytanic ".
Cheryl turns out to own half of the railroad that the episode takes place on. (The other half would be owned by her brother).
Cheryl's pet ocelot Babou makes another appearance in this episode.
Having mistaken them for terrorists in disguise, Archer tries to make the mounties put down their weapons, holding them at gunpoint. One of the mountees says "Maintain the right boys," indicating that they are not going to do so. "Maintain the Right" is the common English translation of the RCMP motto, "Maintiens le droit." It is also sometimes rendered "Defend the Law." In other words it is a reference to their role in maintaining order and rightness. "Maintain the Right" was also the title of a book of the history of the RCMP by Ronald Atkin and a 1940 film of the same subject matter.
Archer references the film "Hud," quickly pointing out to Lana that he hates Wikipedia:Patricia Neal. Her character, a main love interest in the film, was originally black in the book, but for the film she was changed to a white woman.
