Factual error: William Fuller in the film is seen chasing the General first on a push car, then on the Yonah, and finally on the Texas. In the actual chase, after leaving the Yonah, Fuller pursued on the Rome Railroad's William R. Smith locomotive, which is not featured in the film, before finding the Texas.
