RCPHE4
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, January 6, 2005 12:37 PM
These units, 8 in total, are 7 former CSX GP40s and a former SW1500 which have had their prime movers removed and are used at Remote Control platforms, i.e., they must be lashed to a powered unit in order to move. The RCPHE4 is for Remote Control PusH EMD 4-axle. For more information about these units and other CSX locomotives, go to http://groups.msn.com/chessiechapter/_whatsnew.msnw Happy railfanning!

The "E4" likely stands for "EMD 4-axle".

This engine was a GP40 assigned to MofW service. The RCPH means the unit is a remote controlled engine, CSX RC engines are given the designation "RC Push", hence the PH. I don't know what the E4 means.
