   Actually, he holds on to the front of the train, you can see his arm   
   wrapped around the front of the train.

   You're surprised they didn't edit an opening credit sequence they didn't   
   do for the premiere of the episode?  Really?   
      
   (Editor: Wow, we missed a couple of couch gags only 0.000003% of the   
   audience would notice.  Let's do some extra work for the rerun!!! We get   
   paid enough to do this!!!)
