You are correct, PHL 40 is a PR43C. My locomotive notes are outdated, and have been corrected.
No, he is not correct. PHL #40 is a PR30C, former PRLX #3006 and originally built as CP Rail SD40-2 #5819.
The only PR43C's are on NS, numbered NS #4000-4011 and PRLX #4300. NS #4000 and 4001 as well as PRLX 4300 are standard cab units and were rebuilt from SD50 core units. NS #4002-4011 were rebuilt from SD60 core units and are equipped with a unique wide nose cab designed by Progress Rail. PRLX #4300 wears a modified NS paint scheme with the Progress Rail logo replacing the NS logo in the center of the longhood and a smaller NS logo under the radiator section.
