Worked as a trainman and yard engineman for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. In a shop doing the service and heavy repair on 800 + units. Biggest one there I saw was a 6000 H.P. General Electric unit. Had a 600 gallon oil sump

That engine weighs about 50000lbs. Also have a picture from a shipyard in Northern Germany with diesel in there I'm guessing about35 + feet high with catwalks for servicing and close to 80 feet long. I'll scan the pic and post it if I can find it.
