By the mid 1990’s, CSX started to adapt yellow ends and frame stripes to some of their diesels to be more visible at grade crossings and help prevent collisions. This was a simple way of updating the paint scheme without a full repaint. Both the black frame (Blue Stripe) and blue frame (Blue Down) examples are represented in this run for some variety to your fleet. Each road number offered has different art details between them.

PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION

The EMD GP15-1 is a 4-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between June 1976 and March 1982. Intended to provide an alternative to the rebuilding programs that many railroads were applying to their early road switchers, it is generally employed as a yard switcher or light road switcher. A total of 310 units were built for American railroads. A number of GP15-1s remain in service today for yard work and light road duty.

EMD built 28 examples of a variant, the GP15T, between October 1982 and April 1983. It was a very close cousin to the GP15-1, but used a turbocharger in order to generate more power from a smaller engine.
