Missouri Pacific was the largest buyer of the GP15-1, purchasing 160 examples from EMD starting in 1976. In 1982, they purchased 30 GP15ACâs (MP 1715-1744) which use AC power for the traction motors instead of the traditional DC power. Other than 4 units built for Venezuelan National Railways, MP was the only other purchaser of this model. Most can still be found working today for their current owner Union Pacific, used in local and yard duties. We are offering an un-numbered version by many customer requests, so you can add as many road numbers of your choice to your fleet!
