As the character of Duke Winston is chasing the train on horseback, Gene Autry and crew watch his approach from the boxcar. However, the angle of the shot shows Duke and his crew riding straight in the direction of a correspondingly traveling camera along a dirt road - with not a single track of rail in sight. Additionally, the angle of Autry's gaze along with the angle of 'approach' the horseback riders are taking toward train suggests a perpendicular collision, rather than a true chase sequence.
