They make great prime movers for generator applications as well, 100% load, all day every day and the sound is so sweet as the turbo lifts off the gear train as they're loaded up.

EMD has been experimenting with 4 cycle for years, mostly to meet the ramping up of EPA Tier I to Tier IV emissions standards, not for performance issues.

About emissions, the EMD locomotive cannot be sold new in Europe after December 31st as they will not meet NRMM (Non Road Moving Machinary) Stage 3b regs as a two stroke diesel makes more NOx due to a higher exhaust temperature. To comply with Stage 3a, they had to fit extra cooling systems for this reason. A shame really as they have totally transformed railway freight over here in the UK

The same problems for the 710 line have occurred here, too. Luckily, the four-stroke, 12-1010J is the answer to these problems! =)

It's a great engine, but you needed to keep spare turbos stacked up like cord wood. That, and a 20-645-E4 could burn 30-40 gallons of lube oil a day in prime power service.

EMD incorrectly estimated the time and cost of converting the 710G to meet the higher emissions tiers, and thought the only way of achieving that result was to develop the 265H. In actuality, it proved to be easier to adapt the 710G to those emissions tiers than it did the 265H. One consequence was thousands of 710Gs produced to very few 265Hs.

I certainly miss theold 645E3 series. Sweet sounding series. One thing, is it true that EMD shut down the Canadian plant and relocated it to South America? I'm hoping that at least one plant remains in either the U.S or Canada.

Old GM was not exactly saintly either and made some really bad business decisions which led to the eventual bankruptcy.

What's funny about this video is it states the 710 can be use to meet the US EPA T-4 for emissions, well why is it GE has two or more pre-production Diesel engines in the railroad industry that can meet T-4 but EMD/CAT hasn't got pass T-3.5 as of June 2014? I love EMD/CAT and GE both, but I hate to see EMD/CAT lose the business in railroads, Someone please help them out please!

"EMD/CAT" can never be a seriously big player in the railroad industry. Your plea vs. GE is valid, but what once was, is long gone in spirit as well as product. RIP EMD/CAT Even prior to "Old GM" divesting itself from "Old EMD", there were overtures from CAT wanting the engine technology that we developed. They also aspired to see "the CAT engine" on the road in "Old EMD" locomotives, neither of which happened.

To reduce emissions and broaden the customer market. By the time the 4 stroke was widely available it was already a stiff competition with GE and other manufacturers, so it never took off. So the 2 stroke remains to this day more versatile and responsive than almost all 4 strokes of similar power.
