The Milwaukee Road Class 15-ERS-6 was a class of 24 EMD SD7 diesel locomotives that were built by the Electro-Motive Division for the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railway (better known as the Milwaukee Road) between 1952 and 1953.
== History ==
=== Construction and Delivery ===
In all, a total of 24 units of what had became the Milwaukee Road Class 15-ERS-6 were ever constructed between 1952 and 1953 by the Electro-Motive Division and they were all delivered to the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railway (better known as the Milwaukee Road) that same year they were constructed between 1952 and 1953.
=== Retirement and Disposition ===
The retirement date of the class is unknown but a total of seventeen units were rebuilt into EMD SD10 locomotives. Two had survived into preservation, Nos. 512 and 522 and they both went to the Dakota Southern Railway where both retained their numbers 512 and 522.
No. 522 was unexpectedly scrapped for an unknown reason during its preservation years and leaving its sister unit No. 512 the only surviving member of the Milwaukee Road Class 15-ERS-6
