The EMD F40PH is a four-axle B-B diesel-electric locomotive of 3,000 to 3,200 horsepower built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division in several variants from 1975 to 1992. It was designed for Amtrak's short-haul passenger routes and became the backbone of Amtrak's diesel fleet after the failure of the troubled EMD SDP40F. It also found widespread use on commuter railroads in the United States and with VIA Rail in Canada, where it remains the mainstay of long-distance trains such as The Canadian. Morrison-Knudsen and MotivePower produced further variants between 1988 and 2007, mostly rebuilt from older locomotives. Amtrak retired its fleet of F40PHs in the early 2000s in favor of the GE Genesis.
