EMD MP15DC, DCC w/QSI® System

BNSF  No. 3703

Dual Mode Decoder Runs Under DCC or DC!

The 1500hp MP15DC was designed by EMD as a replacement model for the successful SW1500 switcher.

The longer frame of the MP15DC allowed for increased fuel capacity and the use of Blomberg road trucks; increased sand capacity was also offered as an option.

The first MP15DCs were built for Missouri Pacific in February 1974 and a total of 351 units were produced through the end of production in January 1983.

A versatile locomotive employed by railroads across North America in road freight and yard switching duties, the MP15DC was also purchased by several non-railroad corporations for use in plant switching service.
