** The illustrations from ''Mrs. Bradshaw's'', the railway guide follow-up to ''Raising Steam'', indicate that the young goblin's bicycles are indeed a great success.

* A subtle one, but during the traintop fight, Vimes's mark of the Summoning Dark visibly ''shines'' on his righteously-battling arm. An entity of Darkness is ''shining''. Looks like Vimes has taught the once purely-vengeful entity to take up the Guarding Dark's lantern, and higher notion of Justice, completely.

* The story of a group of humans and a group of dwarfs working adjacent mine shafts. When one shaft collapsed, the miners in the other overpowered the guards keeping people from one group from trespassing in the other's shaft and dug them out. And the clincher? Neither side remembers which group was the rescuers and which the rescuees, and ''neither side cares''. They both know that if they were the ones in danger, they could count on help from the other, and if the other side was in danger, they would answer the call to help.

** Numerous characters ''except'' for the Chalk and Lancre contingents, whom we'd have our opportunity to say goodbye to in ''The Shepherd's Crown''. And whose locales, Pterry judiciously has the rail lines bypass, ostensibly because Lancre Bridge couldn't handle the weight, but more probably so that their rustic charm can be preserved in readers' memories.

* Terry creates the Discworld one last Goddess before he had to go with the one who brought the sword, and it's possibly the most fitting of all possible personifications: one that symbolises progress and advancement and a world that is ever changing and improving and one that, throughout the entire book, has been insistently referred to as ''she'' in defiance of any stereotype people might have about steam and grease and metal: Iron Girder herself.

* Iron Girder deciding she likes Emily King. Although she may have been a teeny bit jealous early on, she even scolds Moist for for his lack of faith after he worries about her possibly hurting Emily. Later, Dick mentions that Emily always comes out of the rail yard without a ''speck'' of dirt on her clothes.
