The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania owns the last extant EMD E7, in the form of Pennsylvania Railroad E7A 5901. This engine, built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division in September 1945, was assigned to the Pennsy's passenger trains. This beautifully preserved engine wears its original number, PRR 5901, but it was renumbered to PRR 4201, and then Penn Central 4201 following the Pennsylvania's merger with the New York Central in 1967. The engine has been restored to its appearance after the PRR added their distinctive numberboards, added lift lugs and an MU receptacle to the nose, modified the vents and portholes on the sides and added a number of grabirons. The engine is painted in the original Tuscan Red with five-pinstripes. The PSRM is full of nicely restored railroad equipment that is nicely displayed, and is well worth a visit when in central Pennsylvania. (Strasburg, Pennsylvania – September 28, 2013)
