The EMD GP10 is a diesel-electric locomotive that is the result of rebuilding a GP7, GP9 or GP18.. The Illinois Central Railroad had three separate rebuild programs to upgrade their old EMD GPs and GPs that they had purchased from equipment dealers such as Precision National Corporation in Mount Vernon, Illinois.
The GP15D is a four-axle B-B switcher built by MotivePower and Electro-Motive Diesel.It was supplied with a Caterpillar 3512 (called a 12-170B15-T2 by EMD) V12 prime mover which develops a total power output of 1,500 horsepower (1,120 kW).

One option available for locomotives without dynamic brakes, was to remove the two 22.5 in × 102 in (570 mm × 2,590 mm) [9] air reservoir tanks from under the frame, and replace them with four 12 in × 150.25 in (305 mm × 3,816 mm) [4] tanks that were installed on the roof of the locomotive, above the prime mover.
The EMD GP15 is a 4-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between June 1976 and April 1983. 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.
The EMD MP15, sometimes referenced as MP15DC, is a 1,500 hp (1,119 kW) diesel–electric road switcher locomotive model produced by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division between 1974 and 1980.
The prime mover is equipped with an additional exhaust treatment system, in a large box mounted at hood top level, in front of the radiator section. At least six SD40-2s are scheduled for this rebuild, of which five have been completed and entered revenue freight service as of July 2010.
Externally similar to the GE C30-7 model, six tall hood doors per side (in place of eight) showed it had a 12-cylinder (rather than 16-cylinder) prime mover. Both engines produced 3,000 horsepower (2,200 kW) but the C30-7A's smaller engine used less fuel. The C30-7A units were built between May and June 1984. [1]
