PROTOTYPE INFORMATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The EMD F40PH became one of the most recognizable American passenger locomotives. Originally associated heavily with Amtrak, the design also became a longtime fixture in commuter service with agencies including Chicago Metra.

F40PH locomotives use a head-end-power system to provide electricity for passenger equipment. Their constant high engine speed while supplying power earned them the well-known nickname “Screamers.”
