It was often used as a light road or yard switcher, with 310 units built for American railroads.

Using your ATLAS Trainman EMD GP15 - 1 locomotive is easy. First, connect it to a standard DC power source. Make sure the tracks are clean for smooth operation. When you turn on the power, the directional lighting will come on, giving a realistic look. To couple it with other cars, use the factory - installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers. Just bring them close to each other, and they'll attach automatically. For maintenance, regularly clean the blackened metal wheels with a soft, dry cloth to keep the electrical contact good. Check the motor from time to time for any signs of wear. If you want to upgrade to DCC, since it's DCC ready, you can easily install a DCC decoder. Always handle the locomotive gently to avoid damaging the delicate details. And remember, the pictures might show a different road number than your actual locomotive.
