The General Electic 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. Amtrak's P42 has replaced the EMD F40PH in revenue service and today they are used throughout the United States and often operated in a mixed consist of Phase IV and Phase V schemes. As part of their 40th anniversary celebrations in 2011, Amtrak painted up a number of locomotives in special heritage schemes, including four GE P42 locomotives. Each of these locomotives pays homage to a different phase of Amtrak’s paint history – Phase I (locomotive #156), Phase II (locomotive #66), Phase III (locomotive #145) and Phase IV (locomotive #184). These locomotives, in addition to being used in special 40th Anniversary celebrations, are used by Amtrak in regular service, making them a rare and special sight “in the wild”.
