Three models of Genesis were built by General Electric, the P40DC, P42DC, and P32AC-DM. The P40DC (GENESIS Series I) [9] or Dash 8-40BP (originally known as the AMD-103 or A mtrak M onocoque D iesel - 103 MPH) is the first model in the Genesis series, built in 1993. [10] .

The PL42AC is a diesel-electric 4-axle locomotive built by Alstom with 16-710G3B prime mover for New Jersey Transit. The first two locomotives were manufactured at the Meinfesa plant in Valencia, Spain in 2003. [5] .

This series will catalog the specifications and working history of classes of locomotives and eventually coaches on the New Jersey Transit commuter railroad....

Following the successful introduction of the P40DC, GE unveiled the P42DC - the next production model in the Genesis series in 1996. It carried the same carbody but featured greater horsepower (4200) and improvements to overall electronics and microprocessor controls.

Between 2003 and 2006, 33 PL42AC locomotives were built for US passenger operator New Jersey Transit (NJT). The locomotives were completely designed in Valencia, Spain and then transported as kits to Hornell, New York for final assembly. An exception is the first two unit, which was assembled in Valencia.

The Alstom/EMD PL42AC, a variant of the European Alstom Prima diesel locomotive, is a 4,200 hp AC traction passenger locomotive used for commuter service for the New Jersey Transit (NJT). This locomotive uses an EMD 16V710G3B-T1 engine as its prime mover, and uses four Alstom traction motors for propulsion.

Alstom's P42AC operates with a dangerous flaw - an exposed gap with the 1st passenger car - with only a poorly held metal arm between the locomotive and the open gap.

The PL42AC is a 4,200 hp diesel-electric locomotive built by Alstom with an EMD 16-710 prime mover for NJ Transit. The 33 units, 4000 - 4032, were manufactured at the Meinfesa plant in Valencia, Spain in 2003. The units were then assembled at the Alstom Transport plant in Hornell, NY in 2004 and were delivered throughout early 2006. …
