Feb 20, 2025 · Perhaps most amazing is that more Alco PA's survive than this popular EMD model! This Electro-Motive photo, taken in the spring of 1945, features Great Northern E7A set #504A/B wearing a rare livery ordered for the postwar "Empire Builder."

However EMD was able to deliver the required E7 sets, 6003 A, B, C and 6004 A, B, C arrived in Daylight paint and Shasta Daylight lettering and Medallions. These were also assigned to the LA diesel pool, and also worked runs out of LA.

CR-operated former PC E-7A's 4244 and 4233 rest behind the South Amboy engine facility in July, 1978. After many years of service, and use on the NY&LB replacing GG-1's at the end of the electrified line, these two E-7A's appear ready for retirement.

These E7s are easily the best looking and best running of the 1970s Atlas/Roco diesels (although given the rest of the competition, that's not exactly a major achievement). The all-metal chassis is quite hefty. The worm gear towers are actually attached to the trucks (as opposed to the chassis).

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.
