When F40PHs Were New
Here we see a southbound Amtrak Illini, number 391, rolling by Champaign Tower, on the Illinois Central (ICG at the time).
This EMD F40PH was very close to being brand new at the time (built in April of ’76). We came back later that evening, once it was turned around for its morning run north, and did some night shots.
Two images by Richard Koenig; taken July 3rd 1976.

After turning around on the wye junction, Grand Canyon Railway F40PHs No. 237 and No. 4128 rest up while the passengers take some time to enjoy the Grand Canyon. No. 237 started out life working for Amtrak while No. 4128 originally operated for New Jeresy Transit and was built as an F40PH-2. The only thing that hasn't changed about these two engines was their running numbers as they have kept them since they were built. Taken on 6/5/2023 Picture C) Me

Oh fuck...Poor 281 has grown a face! Sorry Amtrak but your trains are fuckable.
I had full intention of doing the full render but stuff got in the way and I lost interest, I decided to clean my sketch up and color it, in traditional tumblr post style.
The old Amtrak F40PH locomotives are DILFs
You cannot fuck this creature either. Just because he's old doesn't make it fuckable

SP 9779, Pine Bluff, AR.
A view at the Pine Bluff service track on a Locomotive Management field trip. Amtrak F40's were leased by Union Pacific RR for a short time but their small fuel tanks was a PITA as they would barely make Chicago-PBluff before running dry. This is an interesting lashup with the GP60 - F40PH - Dash9.

Hustling Across Illinois This is a westbound Amtrak National Limited in Altamont, Illinois.
We on the Conrail line between Terre Haute, Indiana, and St. Louis (former Pennsy/Penn Central). That’s a relatively new EMD F40PH (built in December of 1977) on the point of the train, which means the legacy cars here have been retrofitted for head-end power (HEP). The red Ford pickup truck completes the snowy Midwestern scene.
The National Limited would be discontinued on October 1st later that same year. One image by Richard Koenig; taken in February of 1979.

Just north of Helper, Utah, Amtrak No. 6, the eastbound California Zephyr, passes through Price Canyon highballing along the D&RGW mainline. The train is about to pass by the dismantled ghost town of Castle Gate and the coal mine where three explosions took place claiming the lives of 172 miners on March 8th, 1924.
