High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The General Motors Electro-Motive Division model F40PH is a 4-axle 3,200 horsepower (2.2 MW) B-B diesel-electric locomotive intended for passenger service, built from 1976 onwards. Introduction of the F40PH series was spurred as a replacement for the EMD SDP40F type, Amtrak's first series of locomotives built new for them (since its inception in 1971). Problems with the SDP40F led to the introduction of the F40PH, based on the proven EMD GP40 series freight locomotives using a two axle truck of known reliability. (The term "F40" by itself can lead to confusion, because the first locomotive to bear that designation was the F40C, a passenger C-C locomotive derived from the SD40-2, ostensibly similar to the SDP40F but with an HEP generator.)
