The EMD E7 is a diesel-electric locomotive built by the Electro-Motive Division (EMD) of General Motors between 1945 and 1949. Unlike fully electric locomotives, the E7 uses a diesel engine to power an on-board electrical generator, which in turn powers the traction motors. As EMD's best-selling passenger model, the E7 helped many North American railroads transition from steam to diesel power after World War II.

The E7 was a diesel-electric locomotive with two 12-cylinder 567A diesel engines, each producing 1,000 horsepower, for a combined total of 2,000 horsepower. The E7 featured a more blunt, vertical nose compared to earlier "slant nose" models. This distinctive front-end style gave the E7, along with the later E8 and E9 models, the nickname "bulldog nose".

EMD built the E7 in two configurations: The cab-equipped "A" unit, with 428 built, and the cabless "booster" unit, with 82 built.

The E7 was designed specifically for passenger trains and came with a steam generator to provide heat to passenger cars.

The E7 was purchased by numerous railroads, including the Baltimore & Ohio, Atlantic Coast Line, and the Milwaukee Road, to power their high-speed passenger trains. The locomotive was known for its reliability and efficiency, convincing many railroad companies to rapidly adopt diesel-electric technology.

Only one E7 remains preserved today: Pennsylvania Railroad E7A #5901, which is on static display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

The E7 is part of a larger family of EMD locomotives known as "E" units, which were used primarily for passenger service. EMD also produced the "F" unit series, which was designed for freight service. One key difference was their wheel arrangement:

E-units like the E7 used a six-axle (A1A-A1A) truck configuration, with the center axle on each truck unpowered. F-units used a four-axle (B-B) configuration, with all axles powered.

Both the E-units and F-units were instrumental in EMD's success and the widespread adoption of diesel power in the mid-20th century.
