By the late 1980's, Amtrak was searching for a replacement for its outdated and
aging fleet of F40PH and GP-40s. Weary of getting more locomotives that were
really designed for freight operation, Amtrak searched for a new, lightweight,
high-tech alternative. General Electric provided Amtrak with an answer with its
unveiling of the "Genesis." Featuring a monocoque frame, advanced
electronics, and special environmental and safety features, the Genesis
represents the state-of-the-art in U.S. passenger service.
While GE officially designated these engines as model AMD-103 (for Amtrak
Diesel-103 mph), they are popularly called the Genesis engine because they
represent an entirely new stage in passenger locomotive technology. Forty-four
of these 4,000 hp engines, numbered 800-843, were delivered between April and
December 1993.
