my ESPEE MODELERS ARCHIVE

California's Railroad to the U.S. 1861 - 1996

Southern Pacific MP15AC

2702 - 2759

58 units delivered

see also the MP15AC Walkaround - 26 detail images.

SP has/had 58 of these units, 1 of them #2723, I assume was written off, as it doesn't appear in the April 1988 roster. None appear to have been painted in the Kodachrome Merger scheme.

Some of them worked with 4 axle yard slugs: #2732 in Oregon worked with both #1010 and #1011
