Machined Brass Flywheels 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.
