The train in the opening credits and closing scene is Colorado's Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, which was then the Denver and Rio Grande Western. In 1971 the DRGW was still owner and operator of the line, and this track was still part of a class 1 railroad and not a tourist / heritage railroad. Even though DRGW was looking at the time for a buyer or just the permission to the interstate transportation board for abandonment of the rail grade. They would find neither until the mid 1980s.
As this was a Cherokee Production, which was James Garner's own production company, there are many familiar faces, cast members who worked with Garner on his series, including The Rockford Files (1974).
James Garner, Jack Elam, Harry Morgan, Henry Jones, Walter Burke, Willis Bouchey, Gene Evans and Kathleen Freeman all appeared together previously in Support Your Local Sheriff! (1969). Though this film is not a sequel to that one --all the above actors play entirely different characters in a different town--they all played similar characters to those they play here.
James Garner's line, "Patience, there are some things a man just can't ride around . . . but then again, maybe he can," is a parody by screenwriter Burt Kennedy of a line he wrote, more seriously, for two Budd Boetticher westerns starring Randolph Scott, The Tall T (1957) and Ride Lonesome (1959): "There are some things a man can't ride around."
James Garner and Suzanne Pleshette would later guest star together on 8 Simple Rules (2002) after John Ritter's death in 2003, as a result, Garner became a regular cast member on the show until the series finale in 2005.
"Jug: You hit that fellow from behind? Latigo: Just as hard as I could!"
"Bud Barton: You couldn't hit a bull in the ass with a banjo!"
