Prototype InformationThe 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 and today it continues to be the motive power for commuter railroads such as VRE, MBTA, Caltrain, Metrolink, Metra and more all over the United States. Over 500 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 frequency power means that these HEP units are constantly running at 900 rpm, resulting in the nickname Screamers for the units due to the sound.
This train-only set does not include track, transformer or other accessories from the factory. It only includes the locomotive and cars and is intended to complement your existing train set, layout or collection.Item Details
