Does the MCH still exist? Are any of the CF-7s around anywhere? The CF-7s were sort of a B&W TV version of the ATSF CF-7. The yellow was very pale and the blue was greenish or brown to gray. Does anyone recall the colors? Thanks.

MCH has been out of business for quite a few years. The CF-7's have been sold to various other operations, including Consolidated Grain and Barge - I've photographed two of the CF-7's on CGB operations in Jefferstown and Mt Vernon, Indiana, over the past couple of years.

The MCH CF-7's did use a modified ATSF paint scheme, here's a link to a photo of the MCH units:

Hope this helps
