Hollywood Can't Help Itself!
They just have to have a TN (token negro) where one does not belong. In the book and other versions, Arbuthnot was a colonel. I guess that was too much of a stretch so they made him a doctor. However, they did have him having an interracial relationship with a white woman. Pure propaganda to make it acceptable to the public. And another thing, it takes a lot more than six guys with shovels to get a derailed locomotive back on the tracks. At least a railroad crane!
