Continuity mistake: At the start of the movie the train pulls into town. The loco, tender and 2 stock wagons pass the water tower, but the next shot shows the loco still alongside the water tower.
Continuity mistake: In the final shot as the vintage train pulls away we see the back of the caboose pass by a very large satellite dish.
Factual error: Anne Margaret is seen changing into pants, and as she's shown stepping into the pant leg she is wearing white pantyhose. Pantyhose wasn't invented at this time.
Sam Turner: All we want to know is what we rode here for.
Lane: What a gun rides anywhere for - money. The more of it the more chances you take.

Answer: It was established that railroad tracks were put through the desert. Probably a shortcut to save time or it was the only area they were allowed to build. Land deals, claim jumping and protected grounds were a big part of where tracks could be laid. It was after the train disaster that the tracks were discontinued.
