1. El Niño Canillón (The Tall Boy) Marker
Este coche es conocido por los ferrocarrileros como el "niño canillón", dado que su altura sobrepasa el de los demás coches.
De manufactura estadounidense, fue importado por la IRCA cerca de los años treinta, y lo convierte en uno de los coches más antiguos de la colección del Museo.
En el año 2006, tras un intento de reparación inconclusa, quedó sin ser usado.
El Niño Canillón (The Tall Boy)
This car is known by the railroad workers as the "tall boy", since its height exceeds that of other cars.
Manufactured in the United States of America, it was imported by the International Railways of Central America (IRCA) around the 1930s, making it one of the oldest cars in the Museum's collection.
In 2006, after an unfinished repair attempt, it was left unused.
Erected by Museo del Ferrocarril de El Salvador.
