Apparently, these use the EMD 4-stroke 265-H engine, according to the EMD website.

Which EMD website? The Progress Rail site (Caterpillar dropped Electro-Motive Diesel from the company name a year ago) says "EMD 12-Cylinder 1010 Engine."

http://www.progressrail.com/en/rollingstock/locomotives/freight/sdacet4.html

A thread a few days ago says the 1010J is derived from the 265H, but nevertheless, it's being called the 1010.

EMD the company is gone. EMD the product is what Progress Rail builds.

My point in mentioning the dropping of Electro-Motive Diesel from the company name was mostly to explain why I was pointing to a Progress Rail website as the authoritative source rather than an "EMD website," because there is no corporate "EMD website" anymore.
