Anecdotes
The film used Union Pacific tracks in Arkansas, which were formerly the tracks of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Mary Steenburgen was born in Arkansas and her father was a freight train conductor on the Missouri Pacific Railroad.

Gaffes
The idea that a major rail company would suddenly become an air freight company overnight is completely unthinkable. Railroads make most of their money hauling material in bulk, which includes vast amounts of coal. Not only would coal be impossible to ship by air, but so would other heavy bulk materials such as ore, steel, lumber, chemicals, grain, scrap metals, and even heavy machinery. Railroads excel at moving the most heaviest of goods efficiently and have yet to be proved obsolete by any other mode of transport in this field. The only competition air is to rail is that of passengers and time-sensitive mail and packages, but "Southland" is said to be doing only "air freight."

Americana at Its Corniest - And Best!

This is a story about two old codgers who steal a freight train to make a point. In fact, they intend to drive it to Chicago from their homes in Arkansas to tell the president of their railroad to re-open their shop and save their jobs.

If you hate America, don't watch this movie. If you despise the working man, don't watch this movie. If your father or his father never sweated the loss of a crucial job that could not possibly be replaced, don't watch this movie.

Otherwise, you're going to love this outstanding cast as they portray a very corny but heartwarming story about the struggles of Middle-America. Throw in a few laughs, a couple of shotguns, some lunchmeat and booze, and you've got yourself one helluva good time.

Watch. Enjoy. Be thankful for what you have.
