[quote user="AntonioFP45"][quote user="mustanggt"]    This is good news for me, ................hink we may also see an F40C out of this? Or maybe that one loco that the F40PH replaced? (can't remember the designation) - Dave[/quote]  Mustanggt, it sounds like the "one loco" you may be referring to is the SDP40f which Cmarchand and I refer to in the above posts.  Though very different from the FP45, the body style is similar.   Amtrak originally intended the F40 for use in short and medium distance runs, instead it became Amtrak's primary power for most of its diesel powered trains after the problems with the SDP40fs derailing in certain situations became a public spectacle.  [/quote] He could also be reffering to the short-lived GE P30CH "Pooches" that eventually bowed to F40PH's (as well as the first GE Genesis units).
