Description

The EMD F40PH is synonymous with the Amtrak era of American passenger trains. Although it has been retired from Amtrak service, it continues to be the motive power for commuter railroads all over the United States, including the Chicago Metra. Over 400 F40PH locomotives have been manufactured by EMD, with the Chicago Metra owning the largest number of the surviving units and operating them to this day, alongside the newer MPI built MP36PH. The N scale Chicago Metra F40PH has been specially designed to replicate the details that are specific to Chicago commuter service, including RV style roof A/C units and ditch lights.
