The longer frame of the MP15DC allowed for increased fuel capacity and the use of Blomberg road trucks; increased sand capacity was also offered as an option. The first MP15DCs were built for Missouri Pacific in February 1974 and a total of 351 units were produced through the end of production in January 1983.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MP15DC is a versatile locomotive that is employed by both large and small railroads across North America in road freight and yard switching duties.
