2023年8月7日 · Locomotive builder EMD entered into an agreement with Siemens in 1989 to create the F69PHAC, an experimental four-axle alternating current passenger locomotive for the sole purpose of seeing how such a beast would work.

The F69PHAC was an experimental locomotive built by Siemens and EMD. This locomotive was designed to test AC locomotive technology. Only two examples of this locomotive were made and were operated by Amtrak.

The EMD F69PHAC was an experimental locomotive built in 1989 in a joint venture between EMD and Siemens. It was designed to test AC locomotive technology. Only two examples of this locomotive were made. The engine used the same carbody as the EMD F40PHM-2, with just a few spotting differences.

2025年3月23日 · The EMD F69PHAC was a groundbreaking experimental locomotive built by Electro-Motive Division (EMD) in 1989. It was designed as a testbed for AC traction technology, which would later become standard in modern diesel-electric locomotives. Only two units (450 and 451) were ever produced, making the F69PHAC one of the rarest locomotives in Amtrak ...
