Please remember I (a train aficionado with a penchant for accuracy) was
transcribing this. To me it's their "ATSF model" as it is wearing ATSF
(Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, the corporate name of the Santa Fe
predecessor component of BNSF) colors (warbonnet to be exact).

The Super Chief is a *train*, not a locomotive, so you'll never ever ever
ever hear me calling that set anything like SFSC.

Once the cars referred to become available, we'll have lots of Super Chief
models out there.. they will consist of several copies of the locomotive
followed by several copies of the cars. That's a train. Locomotives AND cars.

The Super Chief is a train, not a locomotive. A locomotive by itself is not
a train. Hence this locomotive is not going to be called the SFSC by me. Ever.

Hope that helps.

(...) Out of curiosity, what was the_most_common configuration of the SFSC? How many cars of each type? How many B-units, if more than one? Pedro (22 years ago, 21-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Heck yeah, that helps a bunch! The whole thing just had me baffled and I was worried that I was just having a dumb spell! hehheh (Hey, it happens) I'm glad to know that I'm just not versed in "train" speak and not getting senile!

(...) Huh. When I look up 10020 on shop.lego.com, it tells me that the set is named "Santa Fe Super Chief". So it seems it would be inaccurate to refer to 10020 as anything else. Steve [FUT lugnet.nitpick, if it existed] (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) Actually, technically I think a locomotive can be a train. Normally, anything running on the mainline is a train, whether it is a single locomotive, or a locomotive pulling a number of cars. On the other hand, the Super Chief is the name of a (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.trains)
