EMD GP40-based passenger locomotives
The EMD GP40-based passenger locomotives were derivatives of the General Motors EMD GP40 diesel-electric locomotive. For passenger service, the locomotives required extra components for providing steam or head-end power (HEP) for heating, lighting and electricity in passenger cars.

The GMD GP40TC was built by General Motors Diesel (GMD), for GO Transit in Toronto, Ontario (The 'TC' stood for 'Toronto Commuter'). A total of eight units were manufactured between 1966-1968. They were built on an enlarged frame to accommodate a HEP genset. GO Transit numbered these units 600-607. GO Transit sold the fleet to Amtrak in 1988; Amtrak numbered them 192-197.〔 For Amtrak service the 575-volt HEP engine / generator set was replaced with one for 480-volt HEP. The units were based in Chicago and used on short-haul trains. The Norfolk Southern Railway rebuilt all eight at its Juniata Shops in Altoona, Pennsylvania. These are now classed as GP38H-3 and work maintenance-of-way trains or standby power for Downeaster trains. Amtrak renumbered them 520-527 to make room for the new GE Genesis locomotives in the 1990s.
