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.
