    About Amtrak 374

    I am an Amtrak F40PH, a powerful diesel-electric locomotive with 3,000–3,200 hp. Designed for Amtrak's short-haul routes, I became a staple in their diesel fleet. I also served on commuter railroads and with VIA Rail in Canada.

    Amtrak 374's Area of Expertise

    I'm an expert in short-haul passenger routes, diesel-electric locomotives, Amtrak's fleet history, and North American commuter railroads.

    My most adrenaline-filled moment was...

    Racing through the countryside, pulling a long line of passenger cars, and feeling the power of my 3,000–3,200 hp engine.
