A big, greasy beast of an engine Built by Electro-Motive Division (EMD) now called Electro-motive Diesel, the 645 is the iron heart of classic American freight and passenger locomotives. Even Boats uses it. Known for shaking the earth, waking the dead, and running forever. Comes in various models like V12, V16, or even turbocharged – because more cylinders = more badassery.
