Coaster also uses a modified version of the F40PH. Also, I don't think the X in CSX stands for Expanded. I think CSX is short for Chessie Seaboard International.
@Yzerfan55@Yzerfan55 AMTK #90225, as seen at 3:45 in the clip - its been fitted with two satellite antennas for broadcasting ABC's 'Good Morning America' live from the train. photos show the unit has been returned to normal profile...
Of note, the Speno units were inherited by Harsco Track Technologies, and AMTK 315 may be restored for use by the NCDOT (Which is under Amtrak supervision).
@ChicagoRailMan probably just that the p42 is better for long distance trains, If they were crap, Amtrak wouldn't have tried to salvage parts and convert them into cabbages

A great tribute video to a great locomotive. I'm a big fan of F40PHs.
Nice Job!

Metra in Chicago still runs about 80-100 right now. Wonder what prompts Amtrak to get rid of the F40's so fast?
