TRIVIA

"Man a Mile", is a reference to an old saying regarding the railroad. When the Transcontinental Railroad was being built it was the Chinese who were actually laying the tracks and supervising the dynamite in the tunnels, and the saying is that "There is one dead Chinese man for every mile of that railroad." In this episode, there was a dead man for every mile of tunnel that the construction workers were building under the city.
