@BruceBoschek there is a very cool book you can download for free as a PDF that goes into extreme depth about the development of the engines, and even more so the pistons in them. It's not super long, and is more of an engineering report than a "book" per se, but definitely worth a read.
My Dad's a retired Locomotive engineer. This was a familiar sound growing up with the CN mainline in our backyard, and when I'd drive him to the crew office.
Yep. That’s *that * sound alright. All the switch/local power is all EMD and some of the road units are too. All the V20’s are gone, all the prime movers are 16-cylinders.
The EMD hydraulic crab nut wrench makes it easier. We also had a large aluminium torque multiplier that if my memory is right tightened two crab nuts at a time. If there wasn't a 500lb torque wrench available, we put another multiplier on top and used a 200lb wrench.
We make those fuel and oil lines shown in the engineers hands where I work. Originally sold to Durox company, now Mechanical Rubber. I was surprised at the amount we sell, thinking tier 4 was eliminating this fuel injection method, but this video shows me these engines live on in marine duty.
Rail as well, virtually every switcher / branch line locomotive in North America runs on an EMD 645 / 710. Railways certainly aren't in a rush to gather tier 4 junk.

They’re held in with a clamp on the underside. They’re accessed through the air box if I remember right. You take the sheet metal clamp holding them in place off and they drop out the bottom. They have a square shank at the bolt head like a carriage bolt you’d get at the hardware store. Put new ones in and put the clamp back on while a buddy holds it in place from the topside. The crabs and nuts are what secures them solidly in place (they’re wobbly any time the crab plates are loose or removed) and prevents air box pressure from getting in the crankcase and causing an engine protector shutdown for crankcase pressure. We call those water outlet elbows snorkels in our shop, they leak fairly often. You still have to pull the one crab plate off to get enough access to remove it from the back of the head. Just to change 3 o-rings.

No, they have a completely different type of Woodward hydraulic governor. There are similar adjustments that control idle speed and anti-hunting, but the governor is much different.
