Another Guardia Civil video shows officers preparing to place DNA samples from the family members of those affected onto a helicopter.
This aircraft will travel to the Servicio de Criminalistica in Madrid where the samples will undergo identification in labs as officers attempt to match them to the deceased.
There is no record of the number of deceased who may still be at the scene of the accident, but three more bodies were recovered this afternoon.
One body was discovered this morning when a crane lifted a damaged carriage, according to Transport Minister Oscar Puente.
This corpse bumped the death toll up further, with 38 autopsies having already been carried out.
They were completed by forensic doctors who have travelled to Cordoba from Jaen, Granada, Sevilla and Malaga, with ten bodies having been completely identified through fingerprints.
