Worked as a trainman and yard engineman for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. In a shop doing the service and heavy repair on 800 + units. Biggest one there I saw was a 6000 H.P. General Electric unit. Had a 600 gallon oil sump
and if I remember right 410 gallons of coolant. One of the most common heavy haul locomotives in U.S. 710 cubic inches per cylinder 16 cylinders turbocharged. 436 gal oil sump 276 gallons coolent. That engine weighs about 50000lbs. Also have a picture from a shipyard in Northern Germany with diesel in there I'm guessing about35 + feet high with catwalks for servicing and close to 80 feet long. I'll scan the pic and post it if I can find it.
