GP40-2H
In 1996, the Connecticut Department of Transportation purchased six GP40-2 freight locomotives from CSX Transportation to replace its existing fleet of leased locomotives for use in Shore Line East service, and sent them out for rebuilding and conversion to passenger locomotives. The rebuilt locomotives were given the GP40-2H designation, and were completed by AMF Technotransport in Pointe-Saint-Charles, an area of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The six units came back numbered 6694 through 6699.
The GP40-2H is similar to NJ Transit's GP40PH-2 series, but sporting a smaller fuel tank.
All six units remain in Shore Line East service today.
