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.
