Narrative:
After takeoff, aircraft cleared 'left from heading 180 degrees.' then cleared left turn direct byi. Aircraft was climbing to pre departure clearance altitude of 12000 ft. As aircraft passed through 7000 ft, controller called out traffic at 1 O'clock position. Captain 'acknowledged and looking.' almost immediately received an RA to descend (green arc on vsi was -- 2000 FPM). I followed RA command, initiated descent, and the RA cleared. Captain advised controller of RA. Controller stated that the other aircraft had us in visual contact. Neither of us saw the other aircraft. Controller had called it a cessna on initial traffic call.

Narrative: AFTER TKOF, ACFT CLRED 'L FROM HDG 180 DEGS.' THEN CLRED L TURN DIRECT BYI. ACFT WAS CLBING TO PDC ALT OF 12000 FT. AS ACFT PASSED THROUGH 7000 FT, CTLR CALLED OUT TFC AT 1 O'CLOCK POS. CAPT 'ACKNOWLEDGED AND LOOKING.' ALMOST IMMEDIATELY RECEIVED AN RA TO DSND (GREEN ARC ON VSI WAS -- 2000 FPM). I FOLLOWED RA COMMAND, INITIATED DSCNT, AND THE RA CLRED. CAPT ADVISED CTLR OF RA. CTLR STATED THAT THE OTHER ACFT HAD US IN VISUAL CONTACT. NEITHER OF US SAW THE OTHER ACFT. CTLR HAD CALLED IT A CESSNA ON INITIAL TFC CALL.
