FirstbuiltfortheCaliforniaDepartmentofTransportation(CDoT),theF59PHIhas seen service in all four corners of America, (Mostly seen in California) as wellasinthePacificNorthwest/MontrealareainCanada,andmostrecentlyChicago’sMETRARailroad.

In1990, theStateofCaliforniapassedabill thatwouldresult inmassivefundingforthestatetransportationsystems.Italsoresultedinaseparate,state funded system of regional Amtrak routes.

CDOT wanted a locomotive that was both reliable and attractive. They approachedEMD,whorespondedwiththelightweight,high-speedF59PHIlocomotive.

Soon after, more orders arrived. Amtrak ordered 21 of these locomotives for their Pacific Sufliner service (separate from Amtrak California), andthe North Carolina Department of Transportation also selected it as their primary motive power. West Coast Express (operated by TransLink) in Metro Vancouver,alsoselecteditforstartingupitsservice.

Montreal’s Agence de Metropolitaine de Transport bought 11 of these locomotivestogowiththeirBombardierBi-Levelcoaches,whichwerejustarriving.

The F59PHI was produced until 2001. It was taken off of EMD’s lineup becauseitwasn’tabletomeettheEPATier1regulations.
