The EMD F40PH is synonymous with the Amtrak era of
American passenger trains. Although it has been retired from Amtrak
service, it operated for over 20 years. It continues to be the motive
power for commuter railroads all over the United States. Over 400 F40PH
locomotives have been manufactured by EMD in various configurations.
To support passenger service, the F40PH is equipped
with a secondary electrical generator referred to as the head end
generator (or HEP, for Head End Power). The need for constant constant
frequency power means that these HEP units are constantly running at
900rpm, resulting in the nickname "Screamers" for the units due to the
sound.
- All locomotives are equipped with body mounted KATO magnetic knuckle couplers.
- Locomotives feature directional Golden White LED headlights and illuminated preprinted number boards.
- Locomotives are equipped with shock absorber construction for smooth and prototypical motion on the track.
- Locomotives have a powerful five pole motor with all wheel electrical pickup and blackened wheels.
- Additional alternate snow plow piece included for tight radius operation.
- Designed to compliment the Amtrak Superliner Passenger Car Sets.
- Drop in DCC compatible with the Digitrax DN163K0D.
