Actually, these four units are GE's (USA), with a four-stroke engine that makes a completely different sound. A single turbocharged V-16 that has an unusual slave connecting rod for one bank of cylinders, unlike Alco, EE and Sulzer designs, hence the slightly uneven sound, not unlike a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
