We still work on several Detroits in stationary generator and fire pump applications. That is where they really shine on industrial applications that call for a constant RPM. I have rebuilt a few here and there. My personal favorites are the big 149 series, have several out there in twelve and sixteen cylinder versions. There are supposedly some 20 cylinder 149 series out there as well, but I have not personally seen one.

EMD is still being made today and just as viable as ever, no finer engine in a marine tug, and I am a high horsepower Cummins guy.
