There's nothing quite as exciting as standing in close proximity to a 8V92 or 16V92 when they overspeed and go grenade
Or a "53" , "71" or a "149" don't know about the EMD's

That's why they had blower flaps, and also if some numnuts put the governer fork in wrong. Of course the end result was a broken blower shaft, other wise the blower seals would be sucked out and the donk would keep on going until distruction.
In the real big boats they don't use Jimmy's, their to small, except for power generation. If you want above a couple of megs you need to go EMD or what ever the marine stuff is.
any way back to the Rollers.
