The EMD F40PH is a four-axle 3,000–3,200 hp (2.2–2.4 MW) B-B diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division in several variants from 1975 to 1992. Intended for use on Amtrak 's short-haul passenger routes, it became the backbone of Amtrak's diesel fleet after the failure of the EMD SDP40F.

For many years, Amtrak's EMD F40PHs were the mainstay of their fleet. From the time they began arriving, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, until just a few years ago, an F40PH could be found leading almost any Amtrak train in the country. In fact, many commuter railroads adopted the F40PH design, and continue to operate their units to this day.

The EMD F40PH, a four-axle passenger locomotive with a power output of 3,000 to 3,200 hp, was developed by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division. This model's inception dates back to May 8, 1975, when Amtrak placed an order for the first 30 F40PH units following the unsuccessful deployment of...

Built around EMD’s venerable 16-cylinder 645E3 power plant, the F40PH was rated at 3000 HP, but they featured a unique control system to allow them to provide head-end power. The F40’s alternator for the HEP was driven directly off the prime mover, and in order to supply power at the correct 480V and 60Hz, it had to run at exactly 896 RPM.

2023年2月1日 · Amtrak F40PH locomotives are considered the standard passenger motive power for the 1980s and early 1990s. The four-axle, 3,000-hp units are mechanically identical to the much more common GP40-2 freight locomotive, which also use the 16-645E prime mover. In fact, the F40PH was EMD’s first production passenger locomotive to use this prime mover.

A mid '80s group of commuter lines roadnames are added to Life-Like's F40PH roster that includes this California Department of Transportation or CalTrain release.

The EMD F40PH is a type of four-axle, 16-cylinder, passenger diesel locomotive manufactured by EMD between 1975-1992 (including its variants). Morrison-Knudsen also built several variants between 1991 to 2000, while the main model was built between...

The F40PH Preservation Society is a organization located in the state of Massachusetts with the goal of preserving railroad history and artifacts, especially those relating to Amtrak’s F40PH locomotives, and to educate the public about these artifacts and historical information through collection, restoration, display, demonstration and ...
