The F40PH is one of the most recognizable North American passenger locomotives and has been seen in service all over North America for the last 50 years. Built by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors starting in 1976 for Amtrak,cthese were adopted by commuter operations in both Canada and the United States. Owing to their versatile design andcbased on the freight service GP40-2, many are still in service today!
Like the GP40-2, the F40PH featured a turbocharged EMD 645E3 V16 cylinder diesel engine generating 3000 horsepower (later units were bumped up to 3200 HP). Geared for a maximum of 103 or 110 MPH, these would become popular in long distance, intercity and commuter service. To provide heating, lighting and air conditioning, the F40PH featured a Head End Power (HEP) generator connected by alternator to the prime mover.
Amtrak 231 still survives today at the Illinois Railway Museum. The 231 was donated in 2025 by DynaRail, which preserved the iconic locomotive in 2002. The F40PHR wears the attractive Phase III paint along with the unique Operation Lifesaver graphics on the nose. Resourced Rails is excited to offer this exclusive paint scheme celebrating this amazing locomotive.
To help support the preservation and restoration of the prototype, ReSourced Rails will donate 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of these exclusive models to the Illinois Railway Museum. Each model purchased will help contribute to the continued preservation of Amtrak 231 for future generations to enjoy.
