Remarkable Engines: IANR 678/Ferromex 241

Happy F40PH Friday! The F40PH has always been one of the most well-known and respected American diesel locomotives ever made. However, the story of this F40 is unlike that of any other, as it was one of the last F40s working for Amtrak, a HEP equipped power car for the Alaska Railroad, American Orient Express and Ferromex, and became an excursion locomotive for the Iowa Northern shortline and Rock Island Railroad heritage unit! Sorry if I haven't been uploading as often, and if it took me a month to upload an episode of this series. I've been VERY busy with a lot of things all happening at once, and didn't have much time to work on these videos.
EDIT December 2023: It is with great sadness to announce that this unit has recently been scrapped due to CN acquiring the Iowa Northern Railroad.
