Here are direct links:
Sante Fe Cars Set I
http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?prod_id=10025
Sante Fe Cars Set II
http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?prod_id=10022
Now I'm a little confused. I'm looking at the Fallen Flags site for
reference:
http://www.midwestnpioneer.org/timetable/fallenflags/superchief.html
The descriptions at shop.lego.com don't seem to match the cars correctly.
For example, 10022 SF Cars II makes three cars (and has the clear macaroni
bricks!). Lego.com describes them as sleeping, mail & baggage. But comparing
them to the Fallen Flags site, these cars look like observation, dining and
sleeping.
10025 SF Cars I is described by Lego.com as dining and observation. Again
comparing them with Fallen Flags, they look like baggage and mail to me.
And the online descriptions don't match the descriptions from the new
catalog either -
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=212603
Are the descriptions wrong on Lego.com or am I missing something? My
knowledge of real railroad machinery and terms is zero, so I might be
totally off base.
(When does the new train catalog get published?)

Well I think something is definitely wrong. Whether it is the website or the
catalog, I don't know, since I don't know much about trains either. I get
the pictures on the website as follows (compared to catalog):
10022 Observation/mail/sleeping car
10025 Dining/bagage car
But perhaps someone knows better?
