Amtrak NPCUs(Cabbags)
Beginning in 1996 Amtrak took a bunch of aging F40PH engines, removed the prime-mover (engine), replaced the traction motors and trucks with compatible passenger trucks, filled the fuel tanks with cement and put in baggage doors. They called them non-powered baggage and control units, but the public called them Cab-bags or Cabbages. The 406 is here because it has no traction motors. Read more about it on it's page.
