BM 1563 GP-7 at west end of the diesel shop. By this time most of the GP-7's had gone through Billerica Shop and came out with blue dip paint, steam generator removed, water tanks removed and in the case of the 1563 and a few other GP-7's had snow plow pilots applied to the front ends. This is before FRA mandated removal of foot boards. These snow plow equipped GP-7's often were leaders on Boston to WRJct jobs where snow was often an issue on the Northern Main Line.
