The article is too personal with unnecessary punctuation like exclamation marks inappropriate places, and the article is to daunting - the paragraphs are too thick etc. I have added a cleanup tag to the article.--Speedway 18:45, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
I edited the introduction and "history" sections, cutting out a lot of uncessary details and redundant information, and cleaning up the syntax considerably. The rest of the article needs a lot of work, and I will check in later when I have more time to see if I can tackle another section or two. --PabSungenis 21:24, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Made a number of other changes, getting rid of redundancies and tightening most of the text. It could still stand some polishing, so I'll leave the "cleanup" tag until someone else decides it's worth removing. --PabSungenis 01:25, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Personal note on Mexican locomotive
I have fond memories of the old steam locomotive still running from Mérida, Yucatán to Izamal at least as late as 1977. When I saw the train was replaced by a diesel about 1980 I asked what happened to the old engine; I was told it had been "sold to Walt Disney". I hoped maybe some day to see it again at the Magic Kingdom. A shame to hear "It was presumed scrapped." -- Infrogmation 15:39, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Infrogmation, your source must have been mistaken. All of the locomotives purchased for the Magic Kingdom were delivered to Florida in 1969 (ref: M. Broggie 1997,2005). None of the other Disney locomotives (Tokyo, Paris, etc.) came from Mexico. Bill321 18:44, 12 November 2006 (EST)
