Trivia: In the beginning of the movie, Hero Boy looks at a picture of himself on a store Santa's lap. The store's name on the photo is Herpolsheimer's, an old department store in Grand Rapids, Chris Van Allsburg's hometown. Later the train passes by the store. (more)
Goofs: Continuity: When hero boy is riding on skis with hobo on roof of train, the camera angle pans several times. At one point, the view is from the front of the train, showing the engine and the two fellows are on the third car, with two cars between them and the engine. Subsequent pans show them jumping at least three more times, and traveling on more than just two cars. (more)
