When EMD was given the green light to build new passenger diesels in early
1945, it unveiled an improved version of the successful E6, designated the E7.
A pair of 567A prime movers, rated at 2000 total horsepower, now supplied
power. Most of the notable changes were seen on the body and included a new
and much smaller bulldog nose, as well as a large, vertical louver or screen
panels directly behind the cab doors. Introduced just as American railroads
began upgrading and rebuilding passenger service, the E7 was the most
successful passenger diesel ever built, with 428 A units and 82 cabless B
units produced through April of 1949 when the E8 was unveiled.
