Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The EMD MP15DC was a 1,500 hp switcher-type diesel locomotive model produced by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division between 1974 and 1980. 351 examples were built. It replaced the SW1500 in EMD's catalog, and is superficially very similar to the predecessor model, using effectively the same engine in a similar design of hood and bodywork. Like the Mexico-only SW1504, the MP15DC used Blomberg trucks exclusively, replacing the Flexicoil trucks or AAR switcher trucks used on the SW1500. In EMD's eyes this made the new locomotive a road switcher rather than a pure switcher, since it was capable of transition and road speeds up to 60 mph or so; the designation thus meant Multi-Purpose locomotive, 1500 hp, DC generator. Originally the locomotive was simply designated the MP15; the arrival of the alternator/rectifier MP15AC in 1975 changed the name.
