MP15

MP15 is a designation that can refer to several different things, most commonly a type of diesel-electric locomotive. One prominent example is the EMD MP15, a versatile switcher and road switcher locomotive produced by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors. These locomotives are characterized by their sturdy construction and suitability for industrial and yard service. They are known for their reliability and ability to operate on branch lines as well. Various models of the MP15 exist, including the MP15DC, which uses a DC traction system, and the MP15AC, which incorporates an AC traction system. These locomotives have been widely used by Class I railroads, short lines, and industrial operators across North America.

Beyond locomotives, MP15 might also refer to other technical specifications or components in different fields, though these are less commonly encountered by the general public. For example, it could be an internal part number or a specific model number within a manufacturer's product line for something entirely unrelated to rail transport. Without further context, the locomotive interpretation is the most likely intended meaning for "MP15" in a general inquiry.
