This document certifies that you are the owner of a first-edition Lego(r)
Santa Fe Super Chief model.  A limited quantity of 10.000 of the
distinguished diesel locomotiv sets was produced under license from the
Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company for the initial • production
run.  A special tile included in each set displays your engine's unique
production number.

So, it looks like there may be more that 10k made.

I wonder if part of the real issue is they had to pay for the license up
front to BNSF for a specific number and therefore since they were limited
anyway, they just went ahead and made this a "first-edition" collectors item.
