It features an isolated cab, lightweight body, and a streamlined shape, features that were absent on the original commuter F59PH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst built for the California Department of Transportation(CDOT), the F59PHI has seen service in all four corners of America, (Mostly seen in California) as well as in the Pacific Northwest\/Montreal area in Canada , and most recently Chicago’s METRA Railroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCDOT wanted a locomotive that was both reliable and attractive. They approached EMD, who responded with the lightweight, high-speed F59PHI locomotive. Soon after, more orders arrived. Amtrak ordered 21 of these locomotives for their Pacific Surfliner service (separate from Amtrak California).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F59PHI was produced until 2001. It was taken off of EMD’s lineup because it wasn’t able to meet the EPA Tier 1 regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of Amtrak California’s F59PHI’s have been rebuilt by EMD, these are ECO repowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSound Transit, named after Washington’s Puget Sound region, operates 11 F59PHI locomotives in commuter service as part of its Sounder commuter rail line. Service began in September of 2000. Trains consist of Bombardier Bi-Level coaches and cab cars. Many of these units were repainted in the mid-2010s; this month’s offering reflects this new design. All of the F59PHIs have since been rebuilt to EPA Tier III specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED Lighting for realistic appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee through window glazings and radiator fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through dynamic brake fans if applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately-applied horn and wire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied Celcon scale handrails on rear pilot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnowplow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth and quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast frame for greater traction and pulling power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-pole skew wound motor with precision-machined flywheels and multi-link drive train for optimal operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainted and printed for realistic decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully-assembled and ready-to-run out of the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed, injection molded body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple road numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard Econami Sound by SoundTraxx\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull DCC functions available when operated in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent Slow speed control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffect lighting (if applicable) using F5 and\/or F6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgram a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44097149665493,"sku":"ATH64952","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/products\/athearn-rtr-64952-ho-scale-emd-f59phi-diesel-sounder-srdx-901-dcc-sound.jpg?v=1680294035","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/athearn-rtr-64952-ho-scale-emd-f59phi-diesel-sounder-srdx-901-dcc-sound","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
