The EMD F40PH is a diesel electric passenger locomotive that was built between 1975 and 1992 for a variety of different passenger rail carriers in North America. Amtrak used a total of 216 of these workhorses as their primary locomotives in both intercity and long distance service for over two decades. While a number of these locomotives were sold for scrap or converted into cab control cars, many of them were sold to other operators and continue to pull trains 20 years after being retired from Amtrak. A few F40s were also donated to museums. One such unit is Amtrak number 281. The 281 was built in 1978 and spent most of its career with Amtrak based out of Chicago. Toward the end of its days with Amtrak, it was also leased out for freight service. In late 2001, the 281 was acquired by the California State Railroad Museum as an example of second generation passenger diesel power in the United States. In this video, we will see the locomotive pulling excursion trains along the Sacramento River for the first time since arriving at the museum.
