   Seriously?   
      
   I thought that they found work elsewhere either in the United States or   
   in Mexico.   
      
   Anyway, why did they send them so far afield for scrapping, when they   
   could have sent them across the harbor?   
      
   BTW, it would appear that there is a DMU-class train that is very   
   similar in appearance to the M-7/7A. It runs around the Northwest, IIRC.
