That is correct Greg, there is no mileage requirement on inspecting engines, only the train. Also, there are some other inspections for engines, such as the annual inspection (convieniently not exactly 365 days, go figure), air brake inspections (which vary depending on if equipped with electronic air, or the older style), and cab signal inspections. Along with these, there are various oil samples taken and sent to labs (at least on the larger railroads) for analysis in an effort to prevent catastrophic engine or traction motor gear/bearing failure. There are probably a few more inspections depending on the road, but all of these plus the previously mentioned 92day and daily are FRA mandated, except for the oil samle stuff wich falls under preventive maintainance.
