    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!!

    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.😃

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!

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

    The F40s were the best locomotives to operate for my routes on the Atlantic City service WAS to PHL and a few times on the MARC service.

    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.

    Good video. When all is said and done the F40 is simply the best commuter locomotive ever built. I do not make such a claim lightly.

    Hello, amazing video. The F40 is the backbone of Amtrak and without it, I’m not sure what Amtrak would be today.
    If you see the Grand Canyon video on my channel, 237 is seen on the 9:30 out of Williams. Also, I have seen 239 on the GCRY but it’s not on my channel.
    And, when I rode the GCRY, which is Also on my channel in the same video as 237 on the 9:30, 295 is seen leading my train!
    Also, did any Amtrak F40s make it into the Metro North Railroad?
    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.
