Mistakes

The Cassandra Crossing bridge is mentioned to be located in Poland, and you can see power lines indicating that the route is electrified. Earlier, the route is said to be closed in 1948. Polish Railways started electrifying its routes in 1960s and it is very unlikely someone would electrify that route without rebuilding the bridge (considered collapse-prone) and of course without any plans to use that route again.

Cassandra Crossing mistakes

Mistake Continuity: When the train take off from Nürnberg, the locomotive is on "backwards". A few seconds later is it rotated 180 degrees.

Mistake Factual error: The train consists of nine cars - six RIC cars of the Swiss Federal Railways (two 1st class with nine compartments each, two 2nd class with eleven compartments each, one 2nd class with twelve compartments, and one dining car between the classes), an MU sleeping car belonging to the CIWL (International Dining And Sleeping Car Company) between the two first class coaches, and at each end one older Swiss baggage car. The first class has 108 seats, the second class has 204 seats, and the sleeping car has 36 berths; so the train has space for 348 passengers - or 400, adding the 52 restaurant places. I wonder where they put 1,000 people on this train.

Mistake Factual error: The model of the Viaduc de Garabit in France, the real Cassandra bridge, is really well done, but it lacks the typical French AC catenary which can be seen on the original shots.
