The '''EMD F40PHR''' is a rebuild from [[EMD SDP40F]] locomotives that were originally built by the [[Electro-Motive Diesel|Electro-Motive Division (EMD)]] as [[EMD SDP40F]]<nowiki/>s between June 1973 – August 1974.{{Refn|Graham-White and Weil do not list Nos. 401–409 as F40PHRs; this is contradicted by Cook,<ref>{{Harvnb|Cook|1991|p=50}}</ref> Simon and Warner,<ref>{{Harvnb|Simon|Warner|2011|pp=27–30}}</ref> and Holland.<ref name="Holland-2009-62">{{Harvnb|Holland|2009|p=62}}</ref>|group="notes"}} |

== History == |
|||
As problems with the [[EMD SDP40F]] had mounted, Amtrak had adopted the [[F40PH]] as its long-term solution nationwide for diesel service. In the spring of 1977 [[Amtrak]] had traded a total of 40 [[EMD SDP40F]] locomotives back to the [[Electro-Motive Diesel|Electro-Motive Division (EMD)]] to be rebuilt; components including the prime mover were installed into an F40PH's frame. The 40 rebuilt locomotives were designated as the "F40PHR" and were identical to new build [[EMD F40PH|F40PH]] locomotives, incorporating the larger fuel tank and more powerful HEP generator which had become standard.<ref>{{Harvnb|Holland|2009|p=61}}</ref> |
|||
[[Amtrak]] ultimately acquired 132 F40PHRs in this manner, which combined with new orders between 1975 and 1988, and the purchase of six GMD F40PHs from [[GO Transit]] in 1990, led to a fleet of 216 locomotives, the country's largest fleet.<ref name="Trains-1999-59">{{Harvnb|Graham-White|Weil|1999|p=59}}</ref>{{Refn|Graham-White and Weil do not list Nos. 401–409 as F40PHRs; this is contradicted by Cook,<ref>{{Harvnb|Cook|1991|p=50}}</ref> Simon and Warner,<ref>{{Harvnb|Simon|Warner|2011|pp=27–30}}</ref> and Holland.<ref name="Holland-2009-62" />|group="notes"}} |
