Respetabilísimos responsables de haber subido "El tren fantasma" y COMPARTIRLO: Sepan ustedes que algunos agradecemos con el corazón en la mano lo que hace la UNAM, y lo que hacen USTEDES por difundir los valores de la cultura mexicana. ¡Vivan por siempre los conservadores de nuestra Historia! Sinceramente, Antonio Tavera Sierra.
