Cooper-Bessemer FWL-6T. This was most commonly known in the railroad world as the power plant for the GE 70 tonners. GE later bought the CB design, updating the FVL-16T to the FDL series for use in their U25B. Indirectly, this engine was part "ALCO killer" after killing a few steam engines off. GE just recently replaced this design (still 8 1/2 x 10) in their GEVO line.
