Nice shots! Hmm, that would be a good load fer my step deck, plus it would take me to trains! Looks like a 645E series. Obviously turbo charged. Good reference pics for weathering one of the Walthers along with some detailing!

I'm assuming this prime mover is from an SD45 being that its 16 cylinder.
The driver also said that it was going to a UP shop to be rebuilt.

I dont understand why EMD never followed Winton and go with a water cooled exhaust.

I like being able to feel each exhaust and see how each cylinder is running while keeping my flesh as well. ;D I like the Winton system of individual heads/assembly's/jumpers. No need to disturb 2 additional liners when doing a power assembly on the Winton/Cleveland. Gotta love the old school stuff.

That's definitely a 3000 HP 645E engine; chances are it's from a GP40 or SD40 (or their Dash Two variants).

Well, I know this is an old thread, but I figured I'd put in my $.02 worth. This engine is a 16-710-G3_. You can tell it's a 710 vs a 645 by the shape of the rear gear train housing "ears" and the sides of the crankcase where the compression release valves are. Since the 710 has a taller cylinder liner the crankcase has to be taller and you can see that on the flat portion of the crankcase side...there is more space below the comp release valves and where it turns in toward the air box hand hole covers than on a 645. And on the rear gear train housing... the "ears" that cover the cam gears are taller (to make up for the taller crankcase) having a tell-tale vertical section where as a 645 has a nice round curve. If it weren't for those two things this could definately pass for a late 645-E or F model. I'm sure I'm being clear as mud since I don't have a photo to show what I mean. Anyway, I just had to share. I just discovered this sight and love what I see you guys accomplishing!! Very inspiring work!!  |
