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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Apalachicola Northern was a 96-mile shortline running between Chattahoochee and Port Saint Joe, Florida. They rostered 3 very unique GP15T's which they ordered from EMD in 1983. They featured a non-dynamic hood, turbo charged prime mover, nose-mounted Gyra light, and canvas sunshades. Delivered in a bright yellow scheme, by the mid 1990s they received a vibrant dark blue paint job. By 2010\/11, the GP15T's were purchased by the Genesee and Wyoming Group. Two (ex #720 and 722) were sent for use on their Bay Line Railroad in Alabama. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e AN FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e Nose-mounted single Grya light (Operational in DCC)\u003cbr\u003e Operating class lights\u003cbr\u003e 5-chime horn\u003cbr\u003e Roof mounted A\/C\u003cbr\u003e Unique body configuration \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e GENESIS DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e Coupler cut levers\u003cbr\u003e MU hoses\u003cbr\u003e Trainline hose\u003cbr\u003e See-through cab windows\u003cbr\u003e Full cab interior\u003cbr\u003e Walkway tread\u003cbr\u003e Windshield wipers\u003cbr\u003e Lift rings\u003cbr\u003e Wire grab irons\u003cbr\u003e Sander lines\u003cbr\u003e DCC-ready features Quick Plug plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003cbr\u003e Fine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003cbr\u003e Detailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, \u0026amp; breather pipes\u003cbr\u003e Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers\u003cbr\u003e Genesis driveline with 5-pole skew wound motor, precision machined flywheels, and multi-link drivetrain for trouble free operation\u003cbr\u003e All-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth and quiet operation\u003cbr\u003e All-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003cbr\u003e Wheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003cbr\u003e LED Lighting for trouble free operation\u003cbr\u003e Heavy die-cast frame for greater traction and more pulling power\u003cbr\u003e Scaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003cbr\u003e Accurately-painted and -printed paint schemes\u003cbr\u003e Fully-assembled and ready-to-run\u003cbr\u003e Operating Class Lights (DCC only)\u003cbr\u003e Operating Number boards\u003cbr\u003e Minimum radius: 18\" - Recommended radius: 22\"","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42187366432850,"sku":"ATH-G13249-PRE","price":186.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/3410\/2098\/files\/5kYrM7_12d8291e-b0b0-4a43-a574-64a12625ed4e.png?v=1761318260","url":"https:\/\/modeltrainstuff.com\/products\/preorder-athearn-genesis-ho-g13249-gp15t-apalachicola-northern-722-186-99","provider":"Model Train Stuff","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
