MP15AC EMD switcher Profile and Models

The EMD MP15AC is a 1,500 hp (1,120 kW) diesel switcher locomotive built by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division between August 1975 and August 1984. A variant of the EMD MP15DC with an AC-DC transmission, 246 examples were built, including 25 for export to Mexico, and four built in Canada. The six largest buyers, Milwaukee (64), Southern Pacific (58), Seaboard Coast Line Railroad (45), Nacionales de México (25), Long Island (23), and Louisville & Nashville (10), were all buying road locomotives with AR10 alternators throughout the 1970s, so the similarly-equipped MP15AC was easily kept in good repair. 36 more units were sold to 8 other customers.
