It features an isolated cab, lightweight body, and a streamlined shape, features that were absent on the original commuter F59PH.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eCDOT 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 Cali- fornia).\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe F59PHI was produced until 2001.
