The Canadian film premiered at TIFF in Toronto in September 2018.
Parts of the film was filmed at the Nevada Northern Railway Museum in Ely, Nevada. One of the museum's steam locomotives and passenger coaches is seen in the film but also many of the railroad yard buildings were used for other scenes because of their old time look.
The voice heard on the car radio is General Georges Patton speaking to his troops during WW2 on the European front.
