Suggest merging Mighty Machines at the Airport, an episode into Mighty Machines. --John Nagle 18:03, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

At the Firehall episode: the truck King is credited as the voice of Elvis Presley who died in 1977...way before the series was filming in 1994.--71.244.111.21 (talk) 01:32, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Incomplete episode list?

I suspect the episode list is not complete. This evening, my wife and children saw a 22 minute episode on Treehouse TV that featured trains of the White Pass and Yukon Route railroad/railway in Alaska-BC-Yukon. There is no hint of it in the list in the article, but I found my way to the TVOntario website and found several titles of shorts that don't seem familiar, and aren't on the list. I will try to compile a list. GBC (talk) 05:45, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Many of these episodes look duplicated ("The Race Cars" duplicates "At The Race Track") so are all of these right at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trainfan01 (talk • contribs) 21:57, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Most of these appear to be sections of different episodes instead of seperate episodes. They are exactly what it said, "shorts", parts of an episode but not a whole episode, for instance "making asphalt" and "making the grade" are both part of the "making a road" episode, just only that specific section. It makes me think that you did not actually watch the shorts before starting this section. Kadermonkey (talk) 19:43, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Locations

I am sort of curious as to where you obtained the list of locations, but they definitely seem correct. I was wondering if you could write down the remaining locations of the episodes on this page.

Laisinteresting (talk) 13:05, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Well it is obvious for the At The Harbour one because it shows the ferries that go to Toronto Island and the CN Tower and Skydome/Rogers Centre appear in the background of some of the scenes so that is obvious. As for the rest it is lacking sources and is completely WP:OR so I don't know whether this should be up here or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trainfan01 (talk • contribs) 01:51, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

I have videos of the first and fourth location episodes and they are pretty much correct as I have mentioned above, but for the rest I cannot be accurate. Many of these also appear to be speculation (such as the train yard one). The info also is incomplete in match to the other episodes as well. If anyone can find a source mentioning these locations feel free to re-add this. trainfan01 —Preceding undated comment added 01:39, 20 May 2010 (UTC).

A snow cat referred to as a bobcat loader

Wouldn't the "bobcat" of the In The Snowstorm episode be a snowcat? A bobcat is more like a small wheel loader than the ones in the episode, even if it is referred to as a bobcat there. Kadermonkey (talk) 19:35, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

How is this unsourced?

I checked every episode's end credits for who is credited for voiceovers, what I have is all correct. How is this unsourced?
