F40s are some of my favorite locomotives. They’ve been a part of my life ever since I was born. When it’s time for the cabbages and the other F40’s to be scrapped I will miss all of them.
The F40s are some of the most unique locomotives to still be operating today after 45+ years of history. I strongly hope some more get sold back to New Jersey Transit so it can increase the probability of me seeing one. On another note,Tri Rail recently rebuilt their F40s to fit them with a P5 and a midnight blue paint scheme! The F40s on NJT are relatively rare with only 2 still in service, which is why I hope for some more F40s to be sold to NJT because we cannot let the F40PH legacy die under ANY circumstances!!
The F40 locomotives were and are still useful on railroads in any operational form. I remember seeing the F40PH at the North Carolina Transportation Museum during a railroad boot camp and the museum staff even gave a tour of the cab.
I believe there are 2-3 F40s still in very worn Amtrak paint schemes on some deadline storage track, from photos posted online. Somebody should grab them for a museum exhibit before it's too late to save them from the scrapyard.
This video made my day! My family (wife, 5yo and 1yo) just rode Amtrak for the first time 2 days ago, and the F40 known as 90250 was the head. I'm wrapped up in watching and learning all about trains like I'm a kid again! Ever since watching "Shining Time Station" as a boy I have been obsessed with trains (particularly steam locomotives). I can't tell you the joy I felt from watching my 5yo's face light up seeing 520 up close as it rolled into the station.😃
Loved this Mike! As always, impeccable videography in multiple regards.. quality, information, camera angles... You know you're old when the trains you rode in your youth are on their second life! Or retired. I remember when Amtrak was created. Thanks again Mike!
12:18 I downright miss every old AMT f40ph im happy 2 of em went to tre. F40 is my fav engine, i remember em real well for over 12 years of superb service with amt in montreal. I saw em haul everything from comet II, rtc-85 "go-karts" to 310 and 293 doubleheading a 10 car train of bombardier multilevels. A f40 hauled the first ever multilevel train i ever took. This vid gets a big fat montrealer's seal of approval.
4:00 90221 was seen from the Texas Eagle. It’s super awesome to see these F40PH NPCU locomotives still being used for Amtrak. Just imagine if they were all painted in 50th anniversary units!
Great video! Meanwhile, up in Canada, VIA Rail still has almost all of its F40s still going. They were all built in the mid to late 80's and received an extensive rebuild in the late 2000s/early 2010s and will most likely be used for years to come. Heck, their P42 Genesis locos will probably be retired before the F40s!
The F40PHS Are one of my favorites Trains in USA, Also Awesome Video Mike i am really gonna miss these F40PHS before they get scrapped soon I really love them on The K5LAS horns were the greatest in Trains I hope these F40PHS get repaired.
Glad to see these beautiful locomotives still around. Sadly, there could be a chance that several of the non-powered control units will be going away soon as Amtrak recently placed an order for new Siemens Venture trainsets which will be replacing 40% of they’re fleet. This includes the NPCUs as these trainsets will be equipped with cab cars. Since Amtrak’s San Joaquin and Midwest services are already receiving Venture cars those NPCUs will be the first to be retired.
AMTK F40PH 308 and F40PHRs 310, 370, and 382 were purchased by Metro-North, rebuilt to F40PH-3Cs, and renumbered to 4909, 4910, 4907, and 4908 respectively. These units still run strong on NJT and MNCR trains out of Hoboken and compliment the other GP40s on both railroads along with NJT F40PH-2CATs 4119 and 4120 and MNCR F40PH-3Cs 4911-4914 which are ex-NJT units.
14 Amtrak F40PHs were rebuilt into freight locomotives for the Canadian American Railroad (CDAC). 459 went to the San Luis & Rio Grande Railroad as the slug mother for ex-Amtrak road slug 227, while 461 was rebuilt for excursions on the Iowa Northern Railway. CDAC's F40s used for freight service are classified as F40M-2F, while IANR's F40M-2F is used for both excursions and freight service, and is classified as F40MPH-2F.
The F40 was a huge part of my childhood growing up in Northeastern Massachusetts with Downeaster and MBTA service! I hope it will remain in active service for many years to follow!
Hey CoasterFan2105! I Want to say that you forgot 3 F40ph's! Those i will read out:f40ph 210 that is in storage, NPCU f40ph 90225 that is currently pulling the amtrak san joaquin trains and amtrak NPCU 90200 that is currently pulling the amtrak midwest.
here are some more: Amtrak 265 went to Maine Eastern Railroad in 2004 it would Later be sent to Tshiuetin Rail Transportation in Quebec Canada and Renumbered TSH 600. Amtrak 271 went to Derby, Maine in 2008 and was rebuilt it would then go to Agence métropolitaine de transport in Quebec Canada in 2010 and was then moved to Tshiuetin Rail Transportation in 2013 and renumbered TSH 602 . Amtrak 291 like 265 went to Maine Eastern Railroad in 2004 it would Later be sent to Tshiuetin Rail Transportation in Quebec Canada and Renumbered TSH 601
Along with the Big Boy these engines remain my favorite! The F40's we're definitely made to last and they're still powerful beasts over fourty years later. I hope they stick around for even more. We love to see it
The system has grown over the past few decades. When I was growing up in the Portland area, it was just the Blue Line and then came the Red Line going to and from PDX and now there's even Green, Orange and Yellow lines. I will always remember it for being the first light rail system I had experienced.
I live near the Downeaster, most of the time you’ll see Cabbage cars in the Downeaster phase 5 livery, or if you’re lucky, you’ll see a heritage livery. Sometimes you’ll see 2 p42s on it, or maybe 2 cabbage cars if you’re extra lucky. Even though I’m from Maine, it’s either a Downeaster ride or a 2 hour drive to Boston for even more f40s on the mbta. So I love f40s for Nostalgia, beauty, and seeing them every time I’m near the tracks.
Virginia Railway Express F40PH V35, formerly Amtrak 311, was donated to the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer, North Carolina, by LTEX in 2019.
There are two more F40’s that came through the TCRY museum in Nashville that are now pulling the tourist train in Panama. They are painted in the Kansa City Southern scheme. KCS operates the Panama Canal RR. Primary passengers come from the cruise ships.
One thing I should mention Metra Locomotive 215 has since been taken out of service due to it catching on fire in November of 2018 and has been in storage ever since in the Chicago Metra yard.
My Favorite NPCU shown in this video is 90252. That amazing bell easily solidifies it. 90278 is close behind, and I even got to film that one recently. As for the others here, my Favorite probably has to be 375. Since childhood, I've owned an HO Scale Amtrak F40, and its number is 375. My Favorite Ex-Amtrak F40s not here are 363 and 379. They got rebuilt recently, and I need to go back to Florida soon so I can film them.
Great Job🎉🙏 Excellent Enterprising Emerging Evolving Endeavour. I am privileged and highly motivated to see the history and be aware of these facts. Hearty Greetings from Kakinada/Hyderabad. India🤝
Back in the Summer of 1991 I was given permission into the cab of F40 330 in Havre on the Empire Builder. I was heading from California to Minneapolis to attend a camp near the Canadian border. Knowing Havre was a service stop I went to the head end of the train, & simply asked the engineer if I could have a look inside, & he said "yah you can come on up", so I did. Doubt you can do that today, which is sad in a way.
In Episode 34 of Train Talk, we’ll talk about all the passenger variants of the GP40 locomotives that are still in service today or have been retired. We’ll discuss the GP40TC, GP40P, GP40P-2, GP40PH-2, GP40FH-2, GP40MC, GP40-3H, GP39H-2, GP40WH-2, RP39-2C, and RP40-2C locomotives as well as what the future holds in store for the GP40-based passenger locomotives. Right, CoasterFan2105?
I realize this video is 3 years old, but you missed a large group of F40s that have the most interesting afterlife: the 10 that went to Panama Canal Railway. They are used on stack trains where their HEP is used to power refrigeration containers. Those were already in Panama when you made the video.
There are a number of individual F40s I missed. Unfortunately, I still have not seen them, so I was unable to include them in this video. There are a number of others that also deserve a spot should I someday be able to film them.

Anyway, even the P32 and P42’s are nearing there end, and it will be very sad to see them go. They have as well played a big part in Amtrak and many other railroads. At the same time, it will be cool and weird to see the ALC-42’s on commuter railroads. Do you know when they will be starting to replace the P32’s?
231 has since been repainted into its historic Amtrak Phase III paint scheme and is now operating excursions. Although its prime mover is functional, its copper wires for the traction motors were stolen when it was in Portland, Oregon.

Amtrak 381 was appeared 1999-2012 it has been changed the star music after I was born and I always liked Pacific Surfliner F40ph
What is Amtrak 156 doing here at the Grand Canyon Railway at 6:15?
11:12 that's my favorite npcu
6:25 4128 is an F40PH-2CAT, but why does it say 'F40FH' down here on that locomotive?
F40s matter bring them back !!
