Remarks & Notes 
MBTA 7538 was the only one of the agency's 14 ex-New Haven/Penn Central GP9s to receive the yellow/purple/gray "Easter egg" paint scheme. It awaited the evening rush hour at Boston's South Station with a plain black partner, not long before it was traded to ICG for a rebuilt FP-10 cab unit.
