The MP36PH-3C was the second locomotive produced in the MPXpress catalog. This version has had the most customers by far. The locomotive like the MP36PH-3S has a 16-645F3B type prime mover. All MP36PH-3C's are either Tier 2 or 3 compliant. In this arrangement, when providing HEP, the full 3600 HP from the prime mover is available for traction, and the prime mover is allowed to idle at a lower RPM. Caltrain was the first to purchase the MP36PH-3C in 2003. Today, ten commuter railroads operate this model.
