Here’s a tribute to my old F40PH. My DCC controller is off to the manufacturer for warranty work, so I switched the power district back to DC and gave the old gal a run. Poor thing is showing her age but keeps running - like her Amtrak namesakes did. Here’s to the F40!

BTW, this loco is a Bachmann shell on a modified Athearn blue box GP38 chassis. I added diode constant lighting, separate grabs and railings, and painted it for my commuter agency. It bears the name of my late father in law, a lifelong LIRR employee.

It's a shame this lovely locomotive can't go as fast as it looks running on the poor trackage in our country!
Unfortunately half of the money dedicated to string new constant tension catenary across New Jersey "disappeared" somewhere on the way before it was used for the materials and stringing the wires. My guess is, it went to the greedy politicians and state heads. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
