The scenes involving the steam engine and railroad cars were shot on the Western Pacific Railroad right-of-way. The scene where the steam engine goes over the tall "bridge" was shot using the Clio Trestle. Filming finished in June 1959. See more »
Goofs During Bert's (Frankie Avalon) first song of the dance, an electric guitar can be heard, but none of the band is playing one---never mind there is no electricity in town (note all the oil or kerosene lamps being used). See more »

Quotes Monty Walker: [the logging crew's train has just arrived in the town of Deep Well, which appears to be deserted] Hey, where's everybody?
Jim Hadley: I don't know.
Jim Hadley: [Jim then notices the old stationmaster] Hey, friend...
Monty Walker: Hello friend. What's going on here?
Bill Burroughs: [Unconcerned] Nothing.
Monty Walker: Well, where is everybody?
Bill Burroughs: What'd you expect, a brass band?
Monty Walker: Sure! Why not?
Bill Burroughs: You know, folks around here don't take to loggers.
Monty Walker: Now, look here, mister. Every place we go people are happy to see us. We spend money like water. Why, we'll put this town on the map.
Bill Burroughs: Or take it off!
[scowls and walks off]
