Anecdotes
It is possible that the train station and train footage were shot in Tomahawk, WI, since there are no railroad tracks anywhere near Gleason. The studio The Shooting Ranch, where the interiors were shot, was owned by director Bill Rebane. It was torn down sometime in the 1980s. In the final credits it thanks the town of Tomahawk and Lincoln County for their cooperation.

Gaffes
There are no end doors on boxcars so the persons riding the caboose would have no way to enter the boxcar while the train is moving. In fact standard boxcars cannot be accessed while the train is moving.

Overblown Outer Limits

The Alpha Incident involves a microorganism from Mars escaping due to the stupidity and carelessness of a railroad baggage handler. Not to mention the imbecility of NASA scientists sending the thing by regular express mail so as to not cause any attention.

So now with the quick thinking that characterizes science fiction movies like these the organism is quarantined at a remote rail station and five people are kept in isolation while scientists work to find a cure, for what they're not sure, but we soon see.

The only cast name I'm sure you might remember is Ralph Meeker, the rest are total unknowns, at least to me they are. The film is an interesting idea, but one more suited to a television episode of The Outer Limits.
