Trivia
Dale Robertson, a natural right-hander, taught himself to draw his gun
and shoot left-handed so that his character Jim Hardie would be more distinctive.
The horse Dale Robertson rode throughout the series, named "Jubilee", was his own.
The locomotive used in this series is the same one used in the series Casey Jones (1957).
