I am posting this for some of the other motorheads out there. I have had the opportunity to see a
diesel engine from a train dismantled before was surprised how large some of the parts are it it doesn't
even compare to this engine. It weighs 2,300 tons is 44 feet tall, and 90 feet long with a red line of
102 RPM.
Notice those are people standing in the crankcase next
to the crankshaft.
I have a turbo charged diesel truck for my daily driver. This turbocharger
is bigger than my whole truck..
I just thought some of you might thise kind of thing as interesting as I do.

"You might wonder what kind of behemoth would need so much power. In 2006,
the Wärtsilä RT-flex96C engine was installed and finally set sail on the Emma Mærsk,
a cargo ship that can carry 11,000 20-foot shipping containers at a breakneck speed
of 31 knots. The ship regularly ferries cargo from China to the U.S."
