The classical Detroit diesel engines were the most successful HD diesel engine series of all time.
They were two-stroke engines and made much more HP than any other contemporary design that could be packaged in the same space, excepting a few specialty designs, e.g., the complex, expensive, and difficult to service Fairbanks Morse opposed piston, Napier deltoid, etc., themselves also two-stroke designs.

Detroit Diesel engines were used successfully in just about any imaginable industrial diesel engine application until rendered environmentally obsolete by the federales.
