Although it has been retired from Amtrak service, it operated for over 20 years and today it continues to be the motive power for commuter railroads such as VRE, MBTA, Caltrain, Metrolink, and Metra) and more all over the United States. Over 50 0 F40PH locomotives have been manufactured by EMD in various configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo support passenger service, the F40PH is equipped with a secondary electrical generator referred to as the head end generator (or HEP, for Head End Power). The need for constant frequency power means that these HEP units are constantly running at 900rpm, resulting in the nickname “Screamers” for the units due to the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sectionTitle\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sectionContent\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"content\"\u003eAll locomotives are equipped with body mounted KATO magnetic knuckle couplers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"content\"\u003eLocomotives feature directional Golden White LED headlights and illuminated preprinted number boards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"content\"\u003eLocomotives are equipped with shock absorber construction for smooth and prototypical motion on the track.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"content\"\u003eLocomotives have a powerful five pole motor with all wheel electrical pickup and blackened wheels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"content\"\u003eAdditional alternate snow plow piece included for tight radius operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"content\"\u003eNew Commuter-version F40PH locomotives and Amtrak Phase III ditch light versions have retooled bodies with over-cab A\/C units and illuminated ditch lights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"content\"\u003eChicago Metra version F40PH locomotives have directional head and tail lights on the front of the locomotive for push-pull operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54270573871379,"sku":"176-6108","price":104.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/9283\/4323\/files\/Kato6f40.png?v=1781113619","url":"https:\/\/southeasthobbies.com\/products\/kato-n-scale","provider":"SoutheastHobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
