    The EMD F40PH is a four-axle 3,000–3,200 hp (2.2–2.4 MW) B-B diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division in several variants from 1975 to 1992. Intended for use on Amtrak's short-haul passenger routes, it became the backbone of Amtrak's diesel fleet after the failure of the EMD SDP40F. The F40PH also found widespread use on commuter railroads in the United States and with VIA Rail in Canada.

    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.
