The GP15D is a four-axle B-B switcher built by MotivePower Industries and Electro-Motive Diesel. It is supplied with a Caterpillar 3512 (called a 12-170B15-T2 by EMD) V12 prime mover which develops a total power output of 1500 horsepower (1120 kW). 10 units were manufactured by EMD during June 2000. Another 10 units were manufactured for Amtrak by MPI during 2004. The GP15D is a hood unit with lowered long and short hoods based on MotivePower Industries’ earlier MP1500D locomotives.
