Wait, if EMD built 150 40f’s, Amtrak had 150 locomotives. They traded then 40 back to get rebuilt in F40PHR’s, and then traded up to 132 to get rebuilt in to F40PHR’s. They sold 18 to the ATSF. He said that there were about nine 40F’s left. But, 132 +18 equals 150. So Amtrak didn’t have any units left or they didn’t sell 18 to ATSF

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.
