EMD GP40-based passenger locomotives

The EMD GP40-based passenger locomotives are the family of passenger locomotives derived from the EMD GP40 diesel-electric locomotive and used by passenger railroads in North America. For passenger service the locomotives needed extra equipment to supply steam or head-end power for heating, lighting and electricity in the cars. Most were rebuilt from older freight locomotives while some were built new. The family includes the GP40TC built by General Motors Diesel for GO Transit in Toronto, eight units between 1966 and 1968, later sold to Amtrak and rebuilt by Norfolk Southern as GP38H-3; thirteen GP40P units built in 1968 for the Central Railroad of New Jersey, later GP40PH and rebuilt as GP40PH-2 in 1991 and 1992; three Dash 2 GP40P-2 units for Southern Pacific; and the GP40FH-2, 21 units completed by Morrison Knudsen between 1987 and 1990 for New Jersey Transit and Metro-North.
