Named Brake Cars
Trivia
- The term "brake car" is ficticious, and is exclusive to All Engines Go. According to Daniel Share-Strom, Bruno was referred to as a brake car rather than a caboose so as to stick with United Kingdom terminology.[1] Ironically, the term "brake car" is not used in either the United Kingdom or the United States, with the correct term for the former country being brake van.
- One of the floaty balloons from the All Engines Go episode, Nia's Balloon Blunder, used for the train parade is based on a Bobber Caboose.
