Fun Stuff
Goofs:
Factual errors: Fraser Sr. and Frobisher, while trying to figure out how to stop the runaway train, note a handle marked 'ENGINE BRAKE.' The handle is actually the train brake and is in the full application position. Below it is the engine brake, which is also fully applied. moreQuotes:
Sgt. Buck Frobisher: [on a train taken over by terrorists] I've found the brake.Fraser Sr.: What makes you think it's the brake?
Sgt. Buck Frobisher: It's written right on it, "brake".
Fraser Sr.: Huh, could be a ruse.
Sgt. Buck Frobisher: To what end?
Fraser Sr.: Something criminal.
Sgt. Buck Frobisher: Are you insinuating that an entire design crew has deliberately mislabeled the key elements of a train?
Fraser Sr.: It's possible.
Sgt. Buck Frobisher: I'm talking to a lunatic.

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
This episode captures all of what made Due South the program it was. It takes a very serious situation (a group capture a train aiming to instigate an nuclear disaster) and make it a comedy.
It is also a step forward in the characterisations with Ray getting be the action hero, the underlying attraction between Benton and Thatcher bubbling up and the wonderful interplay between Fraiser's dead father and the ageing Frobisher.
The dialogue is quick, snappy and makes no attempt to cover up one of the most obvious "quirks" in the episode, however this last point just adds to the charm.
Finally this episode is simply fun to watch. The humour is broad and quite clever at times, there is a genuine sense of threat from a psychopathic villain and all the actors are on top form.
