Greetings, I was reading and saw CN&W observation cars 7200 and 7201 were retired in 1964 and sold to the National Railways of Mexico. Does anybody know if these still exist or any others for that matter? God Bless, Gerald Kopiasz Heartland Railroad Historical Society hrrhs@aol.com |

I would doubt that the cars would still be around as Mexico dropped its passenger service several years ago. The cars became: CNW 7200 - NdeM 374 CLUB ISAAC ROMERO MALPICA CNW 7201 - NdeM 375 CLUB JOSE MARIA CARDENAS Brian Norden bnorden49@earthlink.net |

It may still be a possibility though since there is still a NYC Budd observation car still down there. (hopefully the link worked and you can view it there) I'm waiting on a response from some friends down in Mexico and will post it here once I find out. > I would doubt that the cars would still be > around as Mexico dropped its passenger > service several years ago. > The cars became: > CNW 7200 - NdeM 374 CLUB ISAAC ROMERO > MALPICA > CNW 7201 - NdeM 375 CLUB JOSE MARIA CARDENAS > Brian Norden http://mexican.railspot.com/scdob.htm ablemanscurve@hotmail.com |

I doubt that this car exists today. I took that photo in 1980 at the SCD yard in Mexico City. I delivered 10 sleepers to NdeM between 1980-82 but they are all scrapped now from the info I've been able to gather. -Jim Herron > It may still be a possibility though since > there is still a NYC Budd observation car > still down there.
