Editing A Stop at Willoughby (section)

==Production notes==
The name "Willoughby" presumably comes from the Midwestern town of [[Willoughby, Ohio]], near [[Cleveland]]. There are, however, other places with that name in other parts of the United States, including a Willoughby Creek near [[Great Valley, New York]] (however, it is located in the southwest part of the state, nowhere near Connecticut or New York City). Another possible inspiration is Willoughby Avenue, a street only a few miles from the [[Sony Pictures Studios]] (formerly MGM) where nearly all ''Twilight Zone'' episodes were shot.<ref>[http://www.sonypictures.com/studios/mapsanddirections.php Maps and directions], Sony Pictures Studios.</ref>

The "Stamford" and "Westport/Saugatuck" stops called out by the conductor in the episode do exist—[[Metro-North Railroad]] (at the time [[New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad|New Haven Railroad]]) stops in [[Fairfield County, Connecticut]], include [[Stamford, Connecticut|Stamford]] (the station is now the [[Stamford Transportation Center]]), and [[Westport, Connecticut|Westport]] (the station was once known as [[Westport station (Metro-North)|Westport & Saugatuck]]), where series creator [[Rod Serling]] once lived.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.westportnow.com/celebrating_westporter_rod_serling_and_the_twilight_zone/ |title=Celebrating Westporter Rod Serling and 'The Twilight Zone' |first=Larry |last=Untermeyer |website=westportnow.com |date=August 5, 2010 |accessdate=August 20, 2022}}</ref>

Williams' home phone number, CApital 7-9899, includes what was once a legitimate [[central office name]] for Westport.

"[[Beautiful Dreamer]]", a song first published in 1864 and still popular in the 1880s and beyond, can be heard being played by a band. "[[Oh! Susanna]]", published in 1848 and among the most popular American songs ever written, is also heard.
