The EMD F59PH is a four-axle 3,000 horsepower B-B diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division from 1988 to 1994, with a streamlined variant, the F59PHI, produced from 1994 to 2001. It was originally built for GO Transit commuter service in the Toronto region, and Metrolink in Southern California bought a fleet for its 1992 launch. Based on the GP59, it had a turbocharged EMD 12-710G3A engine, with head end power from a separate diesel generator. EMD built 72 F59PH and 83 F59PHI units. GO Transit began retiring its fleet in 2008, and most went to other operators.
