Just out of burning curiosity, does anyone have any data on the final fates, or last known date/place/conditions for the cars sold to Mexico in 1942? CRA #25 has pictures of NdeM 14y (nee D&RGW 155) and 1009 (214) from the Calif. St Museum (Gerald Best Collection) from about 1948, and ISTR a picture of a coach in some Beebe/Cleeg book.

Wonder what happened to 'em. Not to mention the ex-Colorado Pullmans that were still in use right after WWII.
