The General Electric P42 locomotive is also known as the ''Genesis'' locomotive. The P42 is a modern 4200 horsepower passenger locomotive used across the United States and Canada.

VIA Rail's recent acquisition of P42 locomotives allowed the retirement of aging LRC locomotives. VIA's attractive paint scheme was designed to match new passenger cars acquired from Europe, although they are used in a variety of service.

Amtrak's P42 has replaced the EMD F40PH in revenue service. Today they are used throughout the United States and often operated in a mixed consist of Phase IV and Phase V schemes.
