We ran EMD's "Electra Motive Diesel" back in the 70's when I worked on barges.
EMD was a division of GM, the engines where over sized versions of the 2 cycle engine used in trucks and ag equipment.
GE became the leader in locomotive engines in the 80's and remained there until they sold that division in 2018.
The EMD's I worked on had 18" bores with 2 1/2 ft strokes. Only took a couple hours to change out a power pack which consisted of the rod, piston, cylinder and head as a complete unit.
Power pack weighed several hundred lbs.
Engines idled at 300 rpm with max revs at 850 rpm.
I traveled on the Ohio, lower Mississippi and Illinois rivers as well as the Inner Coastal Waterway to Texas with Inland Oil and Transport, pushing fuel barges.
