Trivia[]
- Lily gets her first speaking role in this episode.
- This episode is canonically set before Runaway Train.
- This episode shares the same emergency and cause with Grandpa Day.
- This episode shares a Similar title to Towering Inferno.
- Sam sounds like he's saying "f##k" when attempting to preform his speech for the Railway Show, albeit he's actually saying "folk" and it just sounds off to some viewers with his Welsh accent.
