(This might become the first post of a regular string if other people have things to report!)
The May 2015 issue of "Professional Mariner" (a magazine of water-borne transportation) has an article on New York City's three new sewage tankers. (Apparently a tanker fleet to ship … "product" is what the crews call it … from one sewage treatment plant to another is more economically feasible than upgrading plants.) Each is powered by a pair of General Electric "6L250" diesel engines: "250" (= cylinder bore in millimetres) is what GE calls the GEVO engine when they are selling it for non-locomotive applications), and these would be 6-cylinder inline engines: the engine which would power a new generation U23B/B23-7 analogue if only some railroad would get around to ordering a batch. Total horsepower is stated as 3500 and something, so these engines are rated somewhat lower than GEVO engines in locomotives.
