The MPI MP8AC-3 is a light-weight Diesel locomotive built by the MotivePower division of Wabtec. It was designed from scratch as a work train engine for the New York City Subway system where it is designated the R156. The MTA ordered 28 units in 2006. After some difficulty with the initial prototype the first unit numbered OL912 was delivered on May 1 2012.
