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.
