On September 30th, 2017, Ferroaficionados Mexicanos made a video about Guillermo Garza Galindo's mural on VIPS Buena Vista, Mexico City.

We invite you to watch the video. We hope you like it.

¡Excelente!

For those of us who can only pick up a word here or there in Spanish: click on the white box at the bottom that says CC so that a red line appears under it, then the gear symbol, then select subtitles, then scroll down and choose English (or whatever your preferred language). It actually works pretty well in this video because they are speaking clearly.

Mil Gracias Maestro !!

The instructions for English subtitles are a sure enough help, but there's a few repeated translations which need to be explained:

1) When they call somebody an old dog, or similar, they don't really mean dog !!! They mean "reilero" the word for railroader, which sounds similar enough to "perro" the word for dog. One of the jokes Mexican railroad employees typically make is calling railroaders "perrocarrileros" instead of the proper "ferrocarrileros"...

2) When they say "garrotero de cola", they mean "rear brakeman".

3) When the subtitles mention "plastic arts" or similar, they're actually talking about acrylic paints.

4) Finally, most of the time when they're talking about "VIP'S", they say "bips". Vip's is a famous coffee shop located on the site of the old Buenavista Station on Insurgentes Avenue in downtown Mexico City. Since the mid 80's it has been a meeting place for "ferrolocos" (train nuts) because of these two murals. To this day it is a must see if you visit Mexico City.
