The EMD F40PH needs almost no introduction with it being one of the most successful and popular locomotives in the United States. It's developed quite the following with many railfans considering it their all-time favorite locomotive, including myself! But how exactly did the F40PH get to where it is today, especially seeing as many are still running today even after nearly 45 years in service? Time to find out in this remade episode of Engines of Amtrak!

The F40PH literally saved Amtrak because they were the perfect "do it all" locomotive from that service.

@johntapp1411 3 жыл бұрын

Almost indifferent to what it locked couplers with-passenger or freight train. One differentiating factor would be the gearing of the traction motor and drive wheels.

@Sacto1654 3 жыл бұрын

@@johntapp1411 A major advantage was that the F40PH didn't have the derailment issues that affected the SDP40F. It helped that the F40PH used a HEP generator, which avoided the balance issues caused by the steam heating equipment on the SDP40F.

Nice video. Interesting that they were called “Screamers.” I always wondered why the prime movers ran at full RPM during station stops. I had the rare privilege of getting a cab ride in an F40PH. While riding up front in an Amtrak RDC from New Haven to Hartford, I chatted up the crew, and they invited me to ride with them from Hartford back to NH! It was night, it was snowing, and the ride wasn’t quite as smooth as an Amfleet coach! Noisy cab, too. It was truly a blast! So the F40PH is close to my heart.

In 2000 the Alaska Railroad leased 4 F40PHs from Amtrak to supply power to there passenger trains while they started to rebuild some of their fleet of GP40-2s with HEP. As a Alaska Railroad fan, it was weird to see brand new shiny SD70MAC and a worn out Amtrak F40PH leading the Denali Star between Fairbanks and Anchorage. When the lease was up the ARR bought two of them from Amtrak, they rebuilt them by removing the engines and replacing them with power generators and renumbered them P-31 and P-32. They kept the control stands so the can use them for push pull moves. They mostly use them on the Hurricane turn train which runs from Talkeetna to the Hurricane Gulch Bridge and back, or the cruise train the run for the Cruise companies which ether run from the port of Seward or Whittier to Anchorage.

I've also thought of a new Nickname for the F40PH: mixed-traffic bears. The "mixed-traffic" part comes from the fact that they were used on both passenger and goods trains, and the "bear" comes from there loud roaring sound from the HEP generator, as well as their car body design. I'm glad that a handful of these beasts are preserved.

My Favorite F40PHs are those of Tri-Rail. I feel they (used to) have the best K5LAs (they now have P5s), the best paint schemes, and I'm personally closest to them. And although they're all done for now, they also had the unique F40PHL-2. I liked how they were basically F40Cs with 4 axles. Was a nice, interesting twist. Hopefully 803 and 805 are somehow preserved. And I cannot tell you how happy I am that their other F40PHs, including their two Ex-Amtrak Units, the former 363 and 379, are being fully rebuilt to continue service on their upcoming Coastal Link Extension. I also happen to have owned an HO Scale F40PH, Amtrak 375, since childhood. It's in rough shape now, since young me didn't know how to treat Model Trains right, but I continue to treasure it greatly. At least the real 375 lives on as Metra 216. The most recent F40s i've seen though, are those of Caltrain and ACE. Both are on the verge of retiring them, but I was able to get just a little more out of them. A couple of Caltrain's units still remain Screamers, while others are F40PH-2CATs and Rebuilt F40PH-3Cs.

TVCTA Rail has 100 of those (400 - 499) With 401 as the Thomas The Tank Engine Unit, 420 being the MLK Unit, 444 being the PAW Patrol 5-year Anniversary Unit, and 480 being The Lion Guard unit. Update: A majority of them have the TVCTA Rail 20th Anniversary paint scheme, 402-410 are in Thomas and Friends paint schemes (e.g. 406 being Percy), 464 was scrapped, and I'm quite sure 484 and 485 will be painted in the Rock Dog and Rock Dog 2: Rock Around The Park paint schemes. So they are down to 99, and 498 was a no-brainer of being scrapped because it is still in service after last month's incident.

i enjoyed because for once someone on the internet didn't disparage New England railroading. Tangentially, MBTA retired all of their F40PHs by the early 2010s with MPI-built F40PH-2Cs picking up the slack. Around 2018 or so these units started to be reconditioned into F40PH-3Cs to work alongside the mid 2010s HSP46s and the aging GP40MCs.

the two dislikes were the SDP40F and P30CH

That moment we got all flustered seeing so many passenger railroads using the F40PH.

This is the best engines of Amtrak episode I’ve ever seen. Now here’s my dreamAmtrak fleet: F40PH P32-8BWH AEM-7

The F40PH was the face of Amtrak in the 80s and they ran until 95 when they were replaced by Genesis locomotives.

When NJ Transit acquired its 17-unit F40PH-2 fleet from EMD in 1981, they were NJT's first brand-new locomotives. Previously all the power was hand-me-downs from the predecessor railroads, or secondhand/rebuilds from elsewhere. They all had the original design HEP and shrieked along in grueling commuter service until approximately the mid-90's. Then they were sent out for heavy overhaul, and the HEP was reconfigured to use a separate Caterpillar diesel engine. They returned to NJT as F40PH-2CAT, with slightly lengthened carbodies (to accommodate the aux diesel,) and other updates such as ditch lights. Instead of the constant high-rev "screaming," they now sounded like the many forms of GP40 that also inhabited NJT. All but 2 have since left the property; 4119 and 4120 still occasionally appear in revenue service (and when this happens, many KZfaq videos of them get posted.)

Not only are the F40PHs are timeless, they look like SUVs on Rails.

I’ll never forget being a young kid and seeing the Reading Rainbow episode where Levar Burton takes a ride on the Coast Starlight and this was the locomotive on the head end. I loved trains and to me this was “the” locomotive.

Great episode of one of the greatest locomotives to ever exist! Interesting to see how the soundtrack was almost exclusively from Mario. I also uploaded my episode of 241, the F40 which went to Alaska, American Orient Express, Ferromex and the Iowa Northern if you're interested.

That was a great video you did. My personal favorite ex-Amtrak F40 is probably 281. One of only two preserved ex-Amtrak F40s, and it actually runs. California State RR Museum rarely ever runs it, but had 281 out the other day out of nowhere running the museum’s excursion train.

The F40 is based on GP40-2, as mentioned. The GP40-2 is a excellent performer. It’s no surprise that they gave excellent service. The Genesis aren’t all they are cracked up to be . They’re very slow loading like most GE junk. The B32-8 is not only slow loading, but very rough riding.
