EMD MP15T

Diesel and Electric Locomotives

The EMD MP15T was a diesel-electric switcher built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between October 1984 and November 1987. It looks like the other MP15 models but replaced the mechanically aspirated 12-cylinder EMD 645 engine with a turbocharged 8-cylinder version. Forty-two were built for the Seaboard System Railroad, numbered 1200 to 1241 and later part of CSX Transportation, and one for Dow Chemical Company. In 2010 Progress Rail, a subsidiary of Caterpillar, bought MP15T 1220 from CSX.
