Hope this is not a repost, it was sent to me by a friend.

This is Canadian National locomotive number 2699. It is a 212 ton machine powered by a 183 liter, 4400 hp V16 4 stroke diesel.

Shortly before this picture was taken, while working under load, 2699 experienced what is known in the trade as a "catastrophic uncontained engine failure". The train was passing the town of Independence , LA, at the time.

The first picture below shows that the engine exploded and one of the 16 cylinder-packs that form the engine was ejected through the engine bay body side and thrown clear of the locomotive.

In addition to this the piston from that cylinder was thrown free by the force of the failure. It was ejected so violently that it traveled through the air and crashed through the roof of a nearby home where it imbedded itself in an interior wall.

This lends a whole new meaning to a "blown" engine!

That rainbow paint job would go over well in San Francisco- or parts of Long Beach.

VW with a blower?

I see an MFI rack and no dizzy, I'm saying diesel.
And it was fast!

In 1951, Volkswagen prototyped a 1.3 L diesel engine. Volkswagen made only 2 air-cooled boxer diesel engines that were not turbocharged, and installed one engine in a Type 1 and another in a Type 2. The diesel Beetle was time tested on the Nürburgring and achieved 0–100 km/h (0-60 mph) in 60 seconds.

Here's a nuther pic of that 1951 diesel bug, and a slightly modified newer bug that's even weirder than something I'd build:

Darn, now the voices got me to thinking. This can't end well ........
