The MP15AC units were far more common around Texas - except 2732 is one of four slug mothers that bounced around. I think they were tried on the humps at Eugene and Roseville(?). I also saw a set at Grand Junction but the hump engine being used was an SD50.
2732 built October 1975. RSD15 3100-3102 also used on hump but retired in 1973(?) and sold for scrap in 1978. Looks like the Baldwin switchers were retired by 1974, so the SW1200s and SW1500s were the Baldwin killers.
