Post steam, what was the commuter rail power pre RDC's?

Only the 1953 order of GP-7s came with cab signal equipment, so I'd expect to see 1572-77 and then 6100, 6101, 6104, 6105, 6146-8 or one of the Phase II RDC-1s or RDC-2s leading.

Cab signals not required. Cab signal territory began at West Cambridge going west.
