- TriviaThough this is a film done by Netflix, the film was premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and later added to the streaming service lineup.
- GoofsWhen Deidra and Laney rob their first train, they see a police unit stopped at the train crossing as they slowly roll by it. To hide, Laney jumps off the side of the flatcar and Deidra opens the door and gets into the container. The officer sees the light from their flashlight on the side of the container and gets on board the (now stopped) train to investigate. The officer subsequently shines his light on Laney, who is camouflaged among some trackside debris, and then notices the container latch is open, with the security band obviously missing. The officer simply closes and latches the container before getting off of the train. No law enforcement officer who had gotten on board the train to specifically investigate possible criminal activity in this situation would simply just close the latch without opening it to investigate if there were someone inside and stealing from it, which was the reason he got on board in the first place.
- Crazy creditsThere's a mid-credits scene.

Featured review
Deidra & Laney Rob a Train is one heart-warming, entertaining film that one needs from time to time. I found myself rooting for the lead characters all the way.
The film is something of a feel- good vibe where not everything will feel plausible, but it's very easy to forgive because by then you'll be heavily invested in the characters. And the feel-good vibe also does not mean there aren't heavier issues handled with great care and heart. I was definitely tearing up in one scene. Ashleigh Murray is amazing as Deidra, the future Valedictorian who's left to take care of her sister and brother while their mom is in jail. She's very charismatic and was more than capable of carrying the film. I hope to see her in more good roles like this one. Rachel Crow, Danielle Nicolet and Sasheer Zamata were also such pleasures to watch in their respective roles. Missi Pyle also deserves a mention!
