http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

Either first hand or through photos I'm used to the proportions of a 16 cylinder engine. When I see a 12 sitting on the shop floor, right away you're thinking “there is room for more”. Actually, I'm willing to gamble, the railroads are pretty happy with 4 less power assemblies to deal with. Should be some fuel savings too. Thanks Paul. :-) I should have thought a little longer before putting my comment. Either first hand or through photos I’m used to the proportions of a 16 cylinder engine.
