Tiny by comparison.
I know we all like the big growling guzzlers, but this technology is beneficial for two important reasons, it meets epa standards and it saves fuel, without compromising performance.

It does compromise performance. That engine is sure as hell not going to last 40 years or stand up to heavy use.

Great shot! I agree with mike, when the 1005 was here, water was geting in an opening on top, and shorting out the locomotive out, so they had to get a cover for that opening. Not to mention that is not a long lasting engine, and like mike said not last 40 years, and take heavy use eather.

The 1005 is the original prototype and certain quirks had to be worked out.
