When Mulder is pursuing Sakurai, it's raining and not in alternate takes.
After Mulder breaks into the ship, he leaves the door open. It is closed in a subsequent shot.
After Mulder pulls his backup weapon and fires a shot, he soon thereafter cocks the hammer back to show how serious he is to the suspect he chased down. The hammer should have already been cocked back after the first shot, since it is a semi-automatic pistol. He would have to have de-cocked it just to re-cock it again.
The U.S. Coast Guard Officer wears a U.S. Army rank insignia on his sweater (with a USCG metal pin-on insignia). Coast Guard wears U.S. Navy style insignia. Also, the coast guard officer is wearing a khaki-colored navy uniform. He should be wearing a coast guard uniform, which is blue.
The U.S. Coast Guard officer has a beard; the USCG banned beards in the mid-1980s.
Canadian passenger trains do NOT operate inside of the United States. Only Amtrak, public transit systems and private short lines can do so and none of them are Canadian entities.
There would be no way for a freight train to hook up with a Canadian passenger train inside the United States, especially nowhere as far away from the borders as Cincinnati is.

In the opening segment, the caption states "Knoxville, TN" but as the train crosses the road, a Canadian Rail Road Crossing sign is clearly visible.
Caption states: Substation C, Allentown, Pennsylvania (DVD time: 10:03), but the lettering on the building actually states, "Los Angeles Police Department"
When Mulder is sneaking through the rail yard in what is supposedly West Virginia, all of the locomotives we see are lettered for the BC Rail network, which is a Canadian railroad based in the Pacific Northwest. Also, the only clearly visible railroad names on the freight cars are either Canadian Pacific, Canadian National and BC Rail. This would be surprising if the action actually did take place in the U.S.
The foot bridge over the train that Mulder leaps on is clearly NOT of US manufacture. Its framework would not have been up to any building code applicable in the United States. Additionally the overhead wiring poles, lines and fixtures are clearly those used in Canada and not in the United States.
