EMD GP15T
An EMD GP15T is a 4-axle switcher diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division 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. Power was provided by an 8-cylinder diesel engine that generated, the same as the GP15-1, but with four fewer cylinders.
28 examples of this locomotive model were built for American railroads. The Chessie System received the majority of them as C&O 1500-1524, while the rest went to the Apalachicola Northern in Florida as AN 720-722.
Chessie Systems GP15Ts are equipped with dynamic braking and the optional inertial air filtration system, whereas ANs GP15Ts do not have dynamic braking, and also uses the standard non-inertial intake system.
