Athearn F59-PHI Southern Pacific Daylight #26345
Athearn 26345 Southern Pacific Daylight Fantasy F59PHI Passenger Locomotive.
Factory painted and assembled model of an EMD F59PHI (P=passenger; H=head end power for cars; I=Independent cab) diesel locomotive from Athearn's Ready To Roll series. Painted red, orange and black (Daylight paint scheme) for the Southern Pacific railroad. This is a fantasy paint scheme as SP never owned any F59PHI locomotives and was produced by Athearn as part of a "what if?" series. Road number 6491.
The EMD F59PHI is a high-speed locomotive produced by Electro-Motive Division (EMD) from 1994 to 2001. It features an isolated cab, lightweight body, and a streamlined shape, features that were absent on the original commuter F59PH.
First 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.
CDOT 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).
The 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.
Some of Amtrak California’s F59PHI’s have been rebuilt by EMD, these are ECO repowers.
FEATURES

Windows, railings, brakes, grab irons and all other detail parts factory installed Working headlight
