The ALP-45DP is a type of single cab dual-mode locomotive being built by Bombardier Transportation for use by New Jersey Transit and Agence métropolitaine de transport.

In 2008 New Jersey Transit placed an order for 26 dual powered locomotives from Bombardier Transportation, part of capital investment program including acquisition of 329 Bombardier Multi Level Coaches and 27 ALP-46A electric locomotives. Funding for an additional 9 units was approved in July 2010, as part of NJ Transit's 2011 capital budget. bringing the total owned by NJ Transit up to 35.

The first of the NJT locomotives was displayed at Innotrans in 2010.

The locomotives are providing service on the Morristown Line, Montclair-Boonton Line, Raritan Valley Line, Northeast Corridor Line, and the North Jersey Coast Line (May-2015) providing a one-seat ride (OSR) into New York Penn Station. The ALP-45DP's also serve on the Main Line, Bergen County Line, and occasionally on Metro-North Railroad's Port Jervis Line. They are numbered 4500 upwards to 4534.

The first locomotive was officially unveiled at Newark Penn Station on May 11, 2011.

Unit 4506 was the first to enter revenue service on the Montclair-Boonton Line as train 1006, on May 30, 2012.
