How the EMD 710 Engine Redefined Modern Diesel Power

This documentary explains how the EMD 710 engine became the backbone of modern North American diesel power. It covers the evolution from the 567 and 645 engines, the engineering breakthroughs of the 1980s, a full technical breakdown of the 710’s design, and the locomotives it powers. It also examines rebuild programs, emissions upgrades, and why the 710 remains in service after nearly four decades. A clear, objective look at one of the most influential diesel engines ever built. #trains #railroads #amtrak #passengertrain #pacificnorthwest
