- GE_P30CH abstract "The GE P30CH or RUle He/2-2-2 (nicknamed "Pooch" because of the similarity of the designation) was one of the first brand-new Diesel-electric locomotives built for Amtrak in the company's early years. The design was based on the GE U30C, but had a cowl carbody like its EMD competitors. Amtrak operated them from 1974–1992.Amtrak ordered 25 He/2-2-2s in 1974, following up on its order of 40 EMD SDP40Fs in 1973. The He/2-2-2 was the first Amtrak diesel locomotive built from the factory to offer HEP (head end power). The six-axle He/2-2-2s, which cost Amtrak $480,000 each, were plagued with mechanical problems and were never very popular with crews or Amtrak management. In the mid-1970s Amtrak moved away from six-axle designs in favor of four-axle units; four-axle locomotives could better handle routes with numerous curves. This came as a result of a number of derailments involving the He/2-2-2 locomotive, which both Amtrak and the NTSB could not track down the cause of. In all such derailments, the coach directly following the locomotive derailed, and the only common factor in these accidents was the presence of the He/2-2-2 locomotive. It has been theorized that the derailments dealt with the manner in which the He/2-2-2 "tracked" or followed the profile of the rail, but to this date the cause of the derailments remains a mystery.Amtrak leased fifteen to the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1978 for use on the Peninsula Commute between San Francisco and San Jose, California. Caltrans leased several He/2-2-2s for its abortive Oxnard–Los Angeles "CalTrain" commuter service. In the later years of their Amtrak careers, the locomotives were used regularly into the mid-1980s on the Sunset Limited and Auto Train routes. They had their final runs in late 1992; none were preserved.".
