Nice autoferro, sad wreck

Here are a couple more pix from Guatemala. The first is a pretty fancy auto ferro. The amount of polish suggests it was used only by very top management for inspections. Note the marker lights.
The second one is pretty sad. A slide derailed the engine between Guatemala City and Rancho, and I seem to remember being told the fireman was killed when it rolled over. Tom Moungovan might be able to fill in some details.
