The EMD F59PHI is a streamlined diesel-electric locomotive manufactured from 1994 to 2001. This variant was the successor to the EMD F59PH, which had a more angular car body like that of the F40PH. This locomotive was based on the GP59, though this locomotive is capable of producing 3,200 HP, 200 more than its freight counterpart. Metrolink purchased 14 total units, 10 in 1995 and 4 in 2001. Many of these have been repainted into Metrolink's new "ribbon" paint scheme to match the Hyundai Rotem cars.
