Though Amtrak first ordered 44 P40DCs #800-843 in 1992, it was delayed until 1993 due to different ideas. So GE built 20 P32-8BWHs #500-519, and they continue to operate. Then finally in late 1993, they have arrived. However, four P40DCs were involved in wrecks, three of them being destroyed. They were #807, #811, #819, and #829. On September 22, 1993, P40DC #819 was leading the Sunset Limited with F40PH #262 and F40PHR #312 at the time of the Big Bayou Wreck in Mobile, Alabama. It was caused by a tugboat hitting a bridge, causing a bad misalignment on the tracks. The train hit the misalignment at 72 MPH. 47 people were killed, including the engineer. P40DC #819, F40PH #262, and F40PHR #312 were completely destroyed. P40DC #819 was the first of the GE Genesis Series to be scrapped after the wreck. On February 16, 1996. Amtrak's Capital Limited with F40PHR #255 leading and P40DC #811 trailing was involved in the Silver Springs Collision in Silver Springs, Maryland. It was caused by a crew from MARC train #286 ignoring a red signal and ended up crashing into the Amtrak train. 11 people were killed. F40PHR #255 was destroyed but P40DC #811 was repaired and put back into service until it was put into storage. On March 15, 1999, Amtraks City of New Orleans with P40DC #807 leading and P40DC #829 trailing slammed into a truck at a crossing in Bourbonnais, Illinois, outside of Chicago. The force was so great that the train derailed. 13 people were killed. P40DC #807 and P40DC #829 were both deemed a total loss. May all those victims rest in peace.
NJ Transit bought 4 P40 Genesis units for the short lived Atlantic City Express Services, ACES, late in the last decade. Cars were 8 Bombardier multilevels with first and business class interiors and bar facilities. NJT developed a dual mode operation with a P40 at one end and an ALP44 electric at the other. I submit the most underappreciated Amtrak units are the 20 P32-8 wide cab hood units predating the Genesis units.
The F59PHi’s are getting retired You should do a video on that. Also, 822 was featured a lot. Which is a heritage unit. Also, Phase IIIb does not exist, it is just “Phase III heritage.
New Jersey transit did not buy them new, they were bought from Amtrak and ran for a few years and then sold to Connecticut department of transportation.
forgot a 0 in the horsepower. 4000hp. I really like your work. This is more or less what I hope my narration to be like. I also agree that the P40s and 42s sound amazing
Great Video! one thing on the horn though. The “first gen” K5LA doesn’t exist officially by Airchime, and the K5LA that you could say was first gen was the Big Tag corker K5LA from the late 1970s which by then was long done being produced. These were equipped with Early to mid Narrow Font 1990s Square Tag K5LAs, you could also say these were the “third generation” of K5LAs because by then the tagless Wide Font K5LAs from the 1980s which came before we’re done being produced. You could basically say the wide fonts were the second gen.
Great video! Very well produced & edited. Pardon my assumption, but the voiceover make me think that you're a young adult-and your skills are excellent! I'm 29 and couldn't create a video half this good, let alone a series. Keep it up, sir 👍🏽🛤🚝
I’m pretty sure that I know (maybe or maybe not) about what actually led to the P40s being retired. And some other history. When Amtrak ran mail and express services, many freight railroads were unhappy about this due to services being taken from them. In 2003, they eventually put an end to this. So with mail services declining, not much power was needed anymore. Lots more P42s had been seen running trains on routes the P40s used to take. This was pretty much the end of the P40s’ careers as almost every service was taken by the P42s, and other locomotives. But Amtrak had assigned some P40s to Auto-Train duty as they had dynamic brakes that work well with the autoracks (apparently P40 #836, before it was leased to ConnDOT, was seen on the Sunset Limited trailing behind P42 #142. No idea how 836 ended up on the Sunset Limited). The rest of the units that weren’t assigned were placed into storage. Meanwhile in 2005, Amtrak leased out 8 P40DCs (units #833, #834, #836, #838, #840 - #843) to the Connecticut Department of Transportation for use on Shoreline East trains and some Metro North trains, but were all sold to them three years later. P40s #808, #810, #812 and #820 were sold to New Jersey Transit in 2007, but later retired and sold to ConnDOT sometime around 2009, but never actually entered service. Instead they all sat in storage alongside two of the 8 P40s leased, then sold to ConnDOT, those two units being #834 and #841. Between 2009 and 2011, Amtrak began rebuilding 15 P40s to meet P42 standards. The rebuilt units were #809, #814 - #818, #821 - #824, #830 - #832, #835, and #837. Unit #822 was rebuilt and given a Phase III Paint Scheme to celebrate Amtrak’s 40th Anniversary and use on the Exhibit Train. 822’s career on the Exhibit Train was later passed on to Veterans Unit 42, which is now retired. Unfortunately, P40s #809 and #823 were both wrecked in 2015 in separate accidents. As a result, both were placed back into storage and will likely never make a comeback. . Around the late 2010s, Amtrak sold several of the stored P40s to Larry’s Truck & Electric as part sources. The rest remained in storage at the Amtrak Beech Grove facility in Indiana. In 2020, TWO MORE P40s have been wrecked, again in separate accidents, involving P40s #818 and Phase III Heritage Unit #822. Both units likely never return due the arrival of the new 75 ALC-42s, which are the replacements for the Genesis locomotives.
Ahhh...the "Mud Missile" (a macabre nickname that we Hoggers gave these locomotives after the Bayou Canot wreck of September, 1993 where Amtrak Train 2--the Sunset Limited--derailed at 70 MPH on a bridge that was knocked out of alignment by a barge that traveled up the wrong bayou. The lead locomotive--a new AMD-103--dove approximately 40 feet straight in to the mud, killing the Engineer, Assistant Engineer, and a third Engineer who was qualifying on the territory, along with 44 others riding the train). As a former Amtrak Hogger, I never thought very highly of these locomotives--not only were they "coyote ugly", but the narrow windows made for poor visibility and the recessed handrails and non-equally spaced steps were a safety hazard (and I almost fell once). The only nice things I could say are that they were much quieter than an F-40 and had good air conditioning (when it worked). When they were stopped with the HEP running (the engine always runs at full RPM when the HEP is running) it sounded like a huge sewing machine. They were also very slow loading engines--I used to say I could pull the throttle out to Run 8, walk back to the cafe car and get a cup of tea, return to the cab, and the darned thing would still not be pulling full power! I would take a good-running F-40 over those glorified "U-Boats" any day. BTW, go ahead and do the X-2000 video. I ran those between New York and Washington in the summer of 1993, and it was a lovely trainset that Amtrak should of purchased instead of the trainset that was built by Alstom and Bombardier. But before you do it, if you have a few quid in the bank, take a trip to Sweden (a beautiful country with wonderful people) and ride them before doing your video. They have been in service in Sweden for nearly 30 years and are still running strong (testimony to Swedish quality).
I'm still lost on the fact everyone, counting the log book for the consist, says that 819 was the lead locomotive. Yet 819, wasn't the locomotive that struck the bridge girder head on, that was F40 262. Which would clarify, given the bridge collapsed after the first hit (Which it reportedly did), that 262 was the lead locomotive, not 819, during the wreck.
@@athens-linescenicrailroad9126 you should read the NTSB report, it will explain the accident in great detail. In any event, the 819 was most definitely the leader. And that’s where all three Engineers were recovered from.
Very nice video and information, keep up the hard work. I feel the following is worth a mention as I'm not aware of any other state doing this. The p40 and p42 are also heavily used in the joint collaboration between Amtrak and the state of California on: Amtrak California for commuter service between San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento, and Bakersfield with bus connection to los Angeles. The F59PHI is another common engine on these lines for Amtrak and has two paint scheme, Amtrak California and an Amtrak California repowered unit which features a glove on the rear of the car body. The F59PHI were purchased by the state which allowed for their unique paint job. The p40/p42 however maintained their traditional Amtrak paint scheme.
You're somewhat off on the fate of the locomotives. 44 were originally built, all for Amtrak. 3 were involved in accidents and scrapped early. Additional orders of the P42 ended up replacing the remaining P40s, and the fleet was mothballed I think around 2002. 8 were leased and later sold to Connecticut in 2005, and 4 were rebuilt and sold to NJ Transit in 2007. These units were later sold to Connecticut in 2015. Of the remaining 29 in storage. 15 were rebuilt and returned to service starting in 2010. I'm not sure what happened to the remaining 14, but the most likely scenarios are that they were either scrapped, or remain in storage.
My favorite of these engine is number 815 because it pulled the California Zephyr all the way to Emeryville without the first loco 112 (a P42DC) or a second engine.
Wow, I didn't know that CDOT had so many P40s for SLE. I thought they only had 4. That explains why they didn't need more power for the Springfield extension, although the MBBs have been causing delays for that operation startup. One word: yes. When I want to explain what kind of railfanning videos I want to make: this is it. Soon I will be posting a video about a particular Pullman coach in the style of this video. Stay tuned!
The Hartford Line uses GP40-3Hs, not the P40s, which are used on SLE. When SLE starts running the M8s, they will probably start using P40s on the Hartford Line.
Hey cool video! At the local orlando station a few miles from us has an original Amtrak sign from the 70’s but is sadly fading away from the sun. I have a picture, it is an f40ph at a door level platform. I do think Amtrak is going to replace the sign though.
hunter dawso There's quite a lot sitting in there we don't see very often. A few non-company Heritage cars still there last I saw in a video. Last couple ex-GO F40s in there too.
I just got done watching a video of one of those trains passing by the Deland train station it was used for the auto train and I saw somebody in the comments say what train engine it was.
Yes 808 was sold to NJT. The unit in the thumbnail was 828. The photo was likely in 2016 when Amtrak ran the Toaster excursion, as well as when passengers on the excursion train visited the shops where the AEM-7s were serviced.
Welp. I refer to Amtrak D8s as: B40-8WH Now, I seem like a smarty pants when I say: AC4400 AC6000 ES44 ET44 ACe B32-8WH Dash 8-40BP Dash 8-40BWH at skool I sound supid.
There are very few retired P40DCs, it shouldn’t be on the list, also the hybrid K5LA isn’t unique to just one of the P40s, most of them have it, if you could find one with a P5, or a Leslie S3T, you will have my attention.
I think that Amtrak is planning to retire their p42's for the sc-44 charger, and its proven that its successful, but I don't think they will scrap the heritage units!
There are no plans to retire the P40DC rebuilds and P42DC's, just transfer those on short-distance trains to long-distance trains when more Siemins SC-44 Chargers enter service.
Funny that you even made this video seeing as how alot of P40's were rebuilt into P42's instead of actually being retired. Also the "40" stands for 4000 horse power, not 400.
Whaa? AmtrakGuy365 & CF2105 already covered that. Plus, AmtrakGuy365 didn’t even want to cover the F40PH since at that time CF2105 covered that already.
Soon p40 #828 will be restored on new year's eve and also it will have a new speed limit and it will be up to 205mph and it can travel from 95mph to 195mph and it will have the same pantograph as the acs-64s and they will be inside of the top and also it will be an diesel electric locomotive and it will be replacing 1 f40ph and it will be used in the long island railroad and it will have a new speed limit and it will be up to 165mph and it can travel from 95mph to 145mph and it will be use by LIRR forever and it's no longer her Amtrak livery and she's still running for LIRR and it will be fully retired in 2025 and replaced by newer sc-44s and it will be displayed in the lirr railroad Museum for 10 years until it's restored and it will be put back into service again
With HEP enabled, I believe power decreases to a minimum of 3600 or so. I know for a fact that on the Dash 8s with a full HEP load power decreases to a minimum of 1685 hp. That’s why they’re so damn slow. Even having HEP enabled with no load on the Dash 8s has the power decrease from 3150/3200 hp to 2700 hp. Kind of sad.

I think that Amtrak is planning to retire their p42's for the sc-44 charger, and its proven that its successful, but I don't think they will scrap the heritage units!
They aren't scraping the p42s
There are no plans to retire the P40DC rebuilds and P42DC's, just transfer those on short-distance trains to long-distance trains when more Siemins SC-44 Chargers enter service.
ok, thanks.
thank you for letting me know!
PLEASE DO THE F7 E8 AND E9 LOCOMOTIVES
does anyone notice the pic at 1:44 has unit 822? that's a heritage unit
Nice vid man
lol the NJT ones are now with SLE
And they haven't even gotten into service with SLE yet LOL!
I saw 822 yesterday and today
Cool
I think in the next ten years they will be the new ones will be replaced in at least ten years since they are getting kind of old
I like the Phase V but i like Phase V B better
Wow you sound so different in this video.
Do the Amtrak Surfliner f9phi
Do the acs64! They are brand new
Funny that you even made this video seeing as how alot of P40's were rebuilt into P42's instead of actually being retired. Also the "40" stands for 4000 horse power, not 400.
I cought 817 on the Empire builder
Do Amtrak dash 8 wide cab
*gasp* Do F59PHI looks! *do it NOW*
I would like to see Amtrak E9’s
G.E. has Soot!
Can you do the stp40f and f40ph
*SDP40F, F40PH.
Funny you could make this whole thing without even remotely mentioning 807, 819, or 829...
I'm guessing he doesn't want to mention 819, due to her accident during the Big Bayou Canot Wreck of '93. I don't know about the other two.
807 and 829 were destroyed in a wreck in Bourbonnias, Illinois on March 15th 1999.
(I just realized that today is the anniversary of it!)
When you said P40-DC, you meant to say 4000 horsepower, not 400
Can you do the famous f40ph
Whaa? AmtrakGuy365 & CF2105 already covered that. Plus, AmtrakGuy365 didn’t even want to cover the F40PH since at that time CF2105 covered that already.
1:39 wow that won’t haul a very long train with 400hp XD
Do P30CH
Pooches
Swedish Level Crossing Channel noooo👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Do the SDP40F
Do a video on Amtrak 66
Greater Boston Railfanning Has 66 really been retired? I know it was in bad shape but I didn't think it would be retired
Yeah I believe it's being rebuilt.
Matthew Sanders that is true
+Amtrak In O Scale They’re retiring it and replacing it with Amtrak 130. That is going to be painted very soon into phase 2 paint.
Greater Boston Railfanning they sadly had to scrap and retire her
it not gust 822 it also 145 and 716
Do Aem-7
dont show p42s in a video about p40s. there different. also, when your introducing a locomotive, dont show a different one
Metrolink f59phis and phs
The avelia liberty.

Too bad that phase 3 engine is rotting at the beach Grove shop
1:58 That’s a 3rd gen K5LA
It's 4,000 horsepower. Not 400.
I was there for 822
Do P42s
You know I seen p40dc 816
Soon p40 #828 will be restored on new year's eve and also it will have a new speed limit and it will be up to 205mph and it can travel from 95mph to 195mph and it will have the same pantograph as the acs-64s and they will be inside of the top and also it will be an diesel electric locomotive and it will be replacing 1 f40ph and it will be used in the long island railroad and it will have a new speed limit and it will be up to 165mph and it can travel from 95mph to 145mph and it will be use by LIRR forever and it's no longer her Amtrak livery and she's still running for LIRR and it will be fully retired in 2025 and replaced by newer sc-44s and it will be displayed in the lirr railroad Museum for 10 years until it's restored and it will be put back into service again
That isn't happening unless you have a source bud.
Elijah, I promise I'm not trying to be mean or rude, but what you just said makes no sense whatsoever.
Train538 Productions Ever consider that was kind of the point?
Do the acela
It will be soon though, with the announcement of the Avelia Liberty.
WorldwideRailfanTV ahhaha i forgot it was retired power😂
Mine 142
1:38 400 Horsepower
AEM-7
Talked to fast couldn't understand much of what was said
0:29
Still amtraks
No offense but you ripped off Amtrakguy365's template again.
He gave credit to AmtrakGuy365 for inspiring this series.
P40's and P42's have the same engines that produce 4200hp
The original P40 produced less
The P40DC produced 4000 HP and the P42DC produced 4250 HP.
The Long Island Railfan That’s with HEP disabled of course.
With HEP enabled, I believe power decreases to a minimum of 3600 or so. I know for a fact that on the Dash 8s with a full HEP load power decreases to a minimum of 1685 hp. That’s why they’re so damn slow. Even having HEP enabled with no load on the Dash 8s has the power decrease from 3150/3200 hp to 2700 hp. Kind of sad.
4000 horsepower
