Although you did not ask, the "post-MBTA" lives of these uits are quite interesting.  All the GP9s except for 7293 were traded to Illinois Central and rebuilt to GP10s during 1979-1980.  Although some were later scrapped, the majority were sold by IC to short lines and still exist today.  As for the E8s, the 4254, 4261, and 4264 have all been rebuilt and are operational (4254 and 4264 in Tennessee and 4261 as "DL&W 808" in upstate NY).

  The 7500-series GP9s I know were originally New Haven but I would like to include the NH number in the captions for the photos... The E8s I have no clue on... while I also suspect that the 7293 is ex-PRR...
   
  Any and all help would be appreciated.
