EMD F40PH's

Here you can find pictures of the EMD model F40PH engines that the Maine Eastern had and Amtrak Cabbag cars.

The F40PH series was built between March 1976 and January 1988, weighs 260,000 lbs and uses a 645E3 16 cylinder four-stroke diesel prime mover that develops 3000 hp, and 65000 lb of tractive effort, and carries 1500 gallons of fuel. My thanks to The Diesel Shop for the information.
