I hired out on the Mopac in 1974 as a switchman, moved up to locomotive engineer in 1978, now in my last year on the UP, still out of St. Louis.

Always liked the MP blue and gray diesels, even though everything was Jenks blue when I started out. So, now I have both along with Texas & Pacific diesels.

I keep hoping one of the manufacturers, MTH, would make up the F7's in the blue and gray scheme, a one paint scheme for all the MP Lines F7's. MP, T&P and the KO&G F7's all had the same scheme with different nose heralds and side lettering.

But you gotta love those Screaming Eagles on the turbocharged diesels of the 1960's an 70's.
