The Super Cs were never meant to be a long train. In fact the modeler, who has done a great job modeling this train, could even warrant adding 2 or 3 more locomotives to the consist for the length of the train....or even put an old coach on the rear instead of a caboose. This would occur quite frequently, since a coach proved to be a much smoother ride behind this great train as compared to a caboose. Props to the modeler.

@CaliforniaSouthern You are correct sir. The last run of the Super C was May 20th 1976 so it is more than likely it had that scheme on the head end. Santa Fe was really good about repainting. KodaChromes proved that

@09jrasner703 - The layout shown in the video is part of the California Southern Model Railroad Club, located in Norwalk, CA. Please check out the club's website for more detailed information about the location and the layout. - CSL

Great job! but the Super C had been discontinued when that paint scheme was developed...I think it was train 199 or 198 depending on the direction of travel

I'm sorry, but you are mistaken, the train above is indeed correct for early 1970s era Santa Fe operations. ATSF F45s did exist wearing the paint scheme shown above during the correct time frame to operate the famous "Super-C".
