N P3 SW7 Diesel CB&Q #9255/Way of the Zephyrs/DC/DCC Soun
The EMD SW7 was the third diesel locomotive switcher the builder
produced in the SW series and the first new design following World War
II in the late 1940s (EMD stopped production on new models until after
the war, mostly due to war restrictions ongoing at the time).
Outwardly, the SW7 was virtually identical to future SW models and
related NW designs of the time although it did differ slightly from the
earlier SW1 in that it featured a more streamlined hood without the
step in front of the nose. The most striking difference between the SW1
and SW7 was the latters additional horsepower, which was twice that of
the former. As with many early EMD switcher locomotive models, the SW7
continues to see use today in various settings from industrial and
shortline operations to tourist and excursion trains.
