Bombardier Transportation manufactured 104 Horizon-type cars for Amtrak: 86 coaches and 18 food. Bombardier Transportation built 104 of the cars in 19881989 based on the Comet II commuter coach design. It was originally dubbed an SL-4TX, with the X denoting 'experimental,' but the X was later dropped. While not operational at the time, it was a nice point on the train. The Horizon is a single-level model of rail car used by Amtrak, primarily on short-haul corridor routes in the Midwestern United States. The first 40 SDP40Fs (500-539) received the horn shown in the pictures, with all four bells on a low-profile version of the standard 5-chime Leslie manifold. 644 (BNSF 6966) was painted in a special Maersk paint to celebrate the opening of peir 400. Amtrak ended up with 150 of these locomotives to take over its long distance routes. In 1973, Amtrak ordered the SDP40F from EMD, based off the SD40 diesel. They had a short, but troubled life, several survived into the 21st century as SDF40-2’s on the Santa Fe and BNSF until they were scrapped in 2002.With one exception. In 1971 when Amtrak was formed, it inherited a mess of different locomotives from different railroads to run its passenger trains.

TRAINZ SDP40F UPGRADE
However a series of derailments led to the demise of the SDP40F's, replacing them with the workhorse F40's we know and love. Trainz Driver 2 is a worthy upgrade for any train fan. They came equipped with Steam Generators to heat the old outdated passenger cars found on the longer routes. In 1971 when Amtrak was formed, it inherited a mess of different locomotives from different railroads to run its passenger trains. This 64 mile (103 km) route located in New Mexico/Colorado is a stunning narrow gauge railway.
