N Scale F40PH-2D Locomotive
VIA’s F40PH-2D has been the face of passenger train travel in Canada since the 1980s. These locomotives were built in London, Ontario between 1986 and 1989. They feature a desktop control stand (hence the “D” in the designation); a unique fuel tank and underframe arrangement, a carbody design with custom panel and door locations and numerous other Canadian-only details.
In 2010 VIA Rail Canada contracted CAD Railway Industries in Lachine, Quebec, to rebuild its F40 locomotive fleet. This involved removal of the HEP (Head End Power) alternator and installation of a separate HEP generator in the rear of the locomotive. At the same time the locomotive was given VIA’s green, grey and yellow Renaissance paint scheme first seen on the P42DC locomotives in 2001. By the end of 2012 all 52 F40PH-2D locomotives had been rebuilt.
