On May 26, 2004, Luis Ortiz contacted us to report the following:
"I'm writing you from Merida, Yucatan. Mexico, just to let you know that 10-6 sleeper "La Coruña" (Ex CZ 1134 "Silver Glacier") fortunately did not go to the scrapper and it sits here in Merida at the "Museo de los Ferrocarriles de Yucatan" (Yucatan Railway Museum), Although the car is in very bad shape (barely missed the scrap), there are plans to restore it."

By request, a few days later, he sent the following pictures and information:
"As you can see in the photos the car lacks the vestibules and end doors and some of the hardware for the vestibules. The interior lacks much of the electric components including the control panel but all the roomettes and bedrooms are in place, although not in the best shape. Also, as you can see in the photos, only one window has its glass in place. The other ones are covered with boards.
Fortunately most of the things that are missing (including all the doors of the car) rest in a warehouse. The museum manager (Mr. Rafael Lizarraga) collected most of these things from the scrap yard from this and other similar cars that unfortunately didn't make it."

Tremendous thanks to Luis for this great information!
