The EMD GP7 is a four-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division and General Motors Diesel between October, 1949 and May, 1954. Power was provided by an EMD 567B 16-cylinder engine which generated 1,500 horsepower . The GP7 was offered both with and without control cabs, and those built without control cabs were called a GP7B. The GP7B locomotives were built between March and April of 1953. They were the first EMD road locomotives to use a hood unit design instead of a car-body design. This proved to be more efficient than the cab unit design as the hood unit cost less, had easier and cheaper maintenance, and had slightly better vision.Of the 2,729 GP7s built,615 were for American railroads, 112 were for Canadian railroads, and 2 were for Mexican railroads.

  • Die EMD GP7 ist eine Baureihe vierachsiger dieselelektrischer Lokomotiven des US-amerikanischen Lokomotivherstellers General Motors Electro-Motive Division der GP-Serie. Wobei GP für general purpose steht. Mit dieser Baureihe kam EMD den Anforderungen der Eisenbahngesellschaften nach einer sowohl im Rangier- als auch im Streckendienst einsetzbaren Maschine entgegen. Ursprünglich als Güterzuglokomotiven konzipiert, wurden einige Exemplare auch im Personenzugdienst eingesetzt. Insgesamt entstanden 2. 724 Maschinen mit Führerstand (A-Einheiten) und 5 führerstandslose B-Einheiten. Letztere wurden ausschließlich von der Santa Fe geordert. (de)
