They did a thing on the History Channel a couple of weeks ago. WOW ... it was impressive. They can even lock out a cylinder and then enter a door to do maintenence on that particular cylinder. The connecting rods were like 12 to 15 tons each. Definately a lot of power.

Jake, the cross head idea is not new. A lot of old time steam engines especially ships engines, locomotive engines and stationary engines used the crosshead for the very same reason. They took old technology and brought it into the 21st century. but imagine having a fuel card for that puppy. Frank
