EMD F40PH

Explore the F40PH, a powerful diesel locomotive that shaped railway history.

Built by EMD and GMD between 1976 and 1992, this locomotive is known for its robustness and reliability.

The F40PH model is part of the "Dash 2" family, an evolution of previous EMD designs.

The F40PH stands out for its excellent performance, reaching a top speed of 166 km/h.

With a power output of 2400 kW from its EMD 16-645E3 engine, it can pull heavy trains over long distances.

Its Bo'Bo' axle configuration ensures excellent adhesion and stability.

This locomotive was widely used in the United States, particularly by Metra in the METX F40PH-3 class.

Its design and engineering, further refined through refurbishment by Progress Rail Services, make it a relevant and appreciated machine even today.

The F40PH represents an example of excellence in the diesel locomotive sector.
