  EMD F7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The EMD F7 was a 1,500 hp B-B freight-hauling diesel locomotive produced between February, 1949 and December, 1953 by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division.
The F7 can be considered the zenith of the cab unit freight diesel; it was ubiquitous on North American railroads until the 1970s (longer in Canada), and the design has become entrenched in the popular imagination.
The EMD F9 is distinguishable from the late F7 by having five, rather than four, carbody center louver groups covering the carbody filters.

EMD can lay claim to being the company that ended the dominion of the steam locomotive on the world's railroads, by both producing high-quality, reliable locomotives, and just as importantly (maybe more so) knowing how to sell them.
In 1949, EMD opened a new plant in London, Ontario which was operated by subsidiary General Motors Diesel (GMD), producing existing EMD as well as unique GMD designs for the Canadian domestic and export markets.
The 1960s saw EMD consolidate their position as the dominant locomotive builder in the USA; new, high power locomotives, like the 3000 horsepower (2.2 MW) EMD SD40 and the 3600 horsepower (2.7 MW) EMD SD45 V20 were produced and proved highly successful.

EMD can lay claim to being the company that ended the dominion of the steam locomotive on the world's railroads, by both producing high-quality, reliable locomotives, and justas importantly (maybe more so) knowing how to sell them.
By the end of the 1930s, EMD had a diesel engine powerfuland reliable enough for road locomotive use; the new technology found its first uses in glittering prow-nosed passengerlocomotives, but EMD's eye was on the meat - freight service.
The war, however, was in the end agodsend for EMD; while it was allowed to continue to develop the diesel locomotive and to sell it to railroads, its competitorsin the locomotive industry - principally the American Locomotive Company (Alco) and the Baldwin Locomotive Works - were prohibited from any work with diesel locomotives.

The EMD FP7 was a 1,500 hp, B-B dual-service passenger and freight-hauling diesel locomotive produced between June 1949 and December 1953 by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division.
The FP7 was essentially EMD's F7 locomotive extended by four feet to give greater water capacity for the steam generator for heating passenger trains.
A total of 378 cab-equipped lead A units were built; unlike the freight series, no cabless booster B units were sold.

Obwohl die F7 nicht mehr als 1500 PS besass, gab es die Möglichkeit mehrere Units A (mit Führerstand) und Units B (eben ohne) zusammen zu fügen. Oft sah man also die Standard Kombination ABBA, 6000 PS stark wie die besten Dampfer.
Die F7 wurde in Serienfertigung hergestellt und nicht wie die Dampfloks den Wünschen der jeweiligen Betreibergesellschaft angepasst.
