Trivia
- The prototype 1993 Ellsbridge Platform features a darker roof and no stationmaster.
- This product is erroneously named Ellsbridge instead of Elsbridge, and is printed as such on the platform building and pre-1994 boxes. This error also occured with Ellsbridge Station.
- The decal depicting the station building contains many references:
- The stationmaster is a caricature of Wooden Railway creator Roy Wilson.
- A Thomas Wooden Railway pamphlet can be seen in the news stand.
- A copy of the Arcade Herald, a publication based in Arcade, New York, can be seen in the news stand. Arcade is where Roy Wilson established the Creative International workshop where many early Wooden Railway products were designed.
- Behind the Arcade Herald is a Shining Time cast poster, with Roy Wilson's initials visible.
