The EMD SW7 was a diesel switcher locomotive delivering 1200 horsepower, manufactured by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division from October 1949 through January 1951. It was equipped with the EMD 567 12-cylinder engine, serving as the successor to the earlier 1000 hp NW2 model within EMD's product range. A total of 489 SW7 units were assembled, mainly at the EMD facility located in Cleveland, Ohio. In addition, 30 TR4 cow–calf paired locomotives were produced. The production run concluded in 1951 when the more modern EMD SW9 was introduced.
