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.
