Guess that show I was watching, probably on Discovery, was wrong or out of date because I distinctly remember them saying how efficient it was compared to cars and trucks. I also remember that they stated a supercharger was needed and I only mean to say that some form of positive pressure on the intake is required--blower, supercharger or whatever. I'd question if a turbo would work because it would require the engine to be running to produce that pressure so that would seem to be chicken or the egg puzzle as to if it'd work. Anyway I did some searching and it seem the GE Evolution engine for locomotives is indeed a 4 stroke. It also seems they've been around since 2004 or so and I might have even seen the show before that--time is passing quickly. I also did turn up pages on monster ship engines that are supposed to be 2 stroke.
