Both units sold to National Rail Equipment Co. in derelict condition.
The EMD F69PHAC was an experimental
locomotive built in 1989 in a joint venture between EMD and
Siemens. It was designed to test AC locomotive technology. Only two examples of this locomotive were made. The engine used the same carbody as the
EMD F40PHM-2, with just a few spotting differences.[1]
They were built for the
United States Department of Transportation and loaned to
Amtrak in 1990, sporting Phase III paint. They were returned to EMD and later used with the
GermanICE train demonstration that was on loan to Amtrak in 1992–1993. They were repainted in ICE paint. The two F69PHAC locomotives were again returned to EMD, where they were finally retired in 1999. Both of the locomotives still exist in a
scrap yard, more specifically National Railway Equipment, in
Mount Vernon, Illinois, stripped of numerous parts.[2][3]
