Remarks & Notes 
The FES had these home-built motor cars that, with apologies to the RGS, we dubbed "Galloping Bananas". The real name for the cars was "Bala de Plata"....Silver Bullet. I am told they had Mercury V-8 engines. They were real gut busters, but fun. This was a Central American Rail Tours charter. Some viewers might recognize themselves.
