Penn Central refitted eight former New Haven
EP-5 passenger locomotives. Known by crews as "Jets," these
locomotives were built in 1955 for the NH, wore the "McGinnis"
paint scheme, and were numbered in the 370-series. After the PC
merger the eight surviving units were re-classed as E40s,
numbered 4970-4977, and were painted PC black. They were
originally slated for passenger service, but they proved to be
unreliable, so they were put into freight service. Six E40s
survived to Conrail, but were retired by the end of 1977.
