#Equipment previously in this series (e.g., turboliners, GP40s, F40s, etc.) was renumbered
*Out of service P42s as of 12/31/09: 3, 7, 8, 32, 60, 143, 149, and 200. An active fleet total other than 199 indicates some of these units have been returned to service, or others added to the inactive list, since 12/31/2009.
**Some Amtrak F40s are still in service elsewhere or preserved.
***These units were rebuilt from the former Go Transit GP40s by NS at the Juniata Locomotive Shops with the same numbers as now: 520-527.
****Further information can be found here. Several of these units were rebuilt by Beech Grove in 2009-2011 to P42 standards through the "ARRA" program.
