Rapido Trains, Inc. EMD F40PH
(Standard DC) (Phase II)

Amtrak  No. 200

Commuter Hooter!

The Amtrak F40PH is one of the few locomotives in North American railroad history that can be described as iconic, representing the renaissance of passenger train travel in the United States.

It was the face of Amtrak - to railfans, modelers and the public - for over 25 years.

This model has been scaled from original Amtrak and EMD blueprints and has been designed with the help of F40PH fans and current members of the Amtrak team who are themselves model railroaders.
