My first mini-documentary of the new year, and it's about a strange US diesel locomotive that I've known about for at least seven years now.
This is the Morrison-Knudsen F40PHL-2; rebuilt from old EMD GP40 and F45 parts for use on the Tri-Rail commuter service in Florida. Sadly they're no longer in service, having been replaced by the Brookville BL36PH, but I thought their unique history and 'hodge-podge' status made them a suitable topic for this series.
