I'd like to suggest an edit to the caption in the "Super Chief" article that shows a Diesel locomotive hanging over a retaining wall at Los Angeles Union Station in 1948. The train in question is not the Super Chief, but the El Capitan. At that time, the Super Chief and El Capitan streamliners were operating every-other-day-- on the same identical schedule, but on alternating days. The Super Chief departed each endpoint (and arrived at the opposite endpoint) on even-numbered days of the month, while the El Capitan departed (and arrived) on odd-numbered days of the month. Since this photo was snapped on January 25th (an odd-numbered day), the train in question is the El Capitan, not the Super Chief. In fact, perhaps this photo should be moved from the Super Chief article to the El Capitan article? The reference below is from a Santa Fe Railway public timetable dated January 1947. The Super Chief is Train 17 (westbound) and 18 (eastbound), while the El Capitan is Trains 21 and 22. There is a marginal note in the columns for these trains, explaining this arrangement. |
Informal peer review
At first glance, this does look like a good candidate for moving up through the FA process, but it's not ready yet. The timeline needs to be converted to prose and the equipment section makes the article a bit list heavy (maybe the equipment information should be split off to a subpage, keeping only the equipment from the inaugural runs here?).

Fair use rationale for Image:Mimbreno China.jpg
Image:Mimbreno China.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

- It seems to me that we should be able to get a free image to replace this. I'll look around at the railroadiana shows that I attend. Slambo (Speak) 18:12, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- It's been nearly two years since Slambo's remark, and we still don't have a free image of the Mimbreno. While I have no original pieces, I do have a set of the authorized reproduction pieces that I could take a picture of at any time. Does anyone feel that this would be a worthwhile addition to the article, or do you want to keep it to the authentic originals only? Ehbowen (talk) 18:42, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
