What type of couplers are correct for a Boston and Maine GP-7 equipped with HEP blister on long hood? E, H or F type?
Would this be the fellow in question?

I went through many of the photos at Fallen Flags and they all seem to show type Es as well.

Looks like an ordinary Type E there, too.
Hey! One of them even went all the way west to Collinwood, Ohio in my neck of the woods. Looks like she got a new pair of trucks, too.

Good Luck, Ed

Yep, BM leased power to NYC a few times.
And those are the ones I was talking about. I guess that answers my question. If they were equipped with H's at one point, at least one of those probably would still have one by the time of the photos. They all seem to have E type, so I will keep those on the locomotive. I was hoping to find a photo of one in Boston Commuter service. Probably should check BMRRHS to while I think of it.

I used to see the Bangor and Aroostook GP9s that the PRR would borrow during peak coal and ore traffic at the Great Lakes and potato harvest was over. I missed seeing the B&M engines, though.
