[/quote] The 1010J has the same bore and stroke but according to Railway Gazette International December 2015 "Tier 4 locomotive take to the tracks" EMD engineers deny that it is a retread of the 265H: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160616053215/http://media.getransportation.com/sites/default/files/RGI-Dec-00-15-p28-31.pdf">https://web.archive.org/web/20160616053215/http://media.getransportation.com/sites/default/files/RGI-Dec-00-15-p28-31.pdf</a> I think it was posted before but the old link is broken. I think EMD has learned from the 265H as GE hs from the HDL. So you are right both date back to the mid 1990s. The same article states: EMD successfully got the 710 engine up to Tier 4 requirements. But while the tests were successful, the resulting design was too heavy, too cumbersome and not cost competitive enough to be marketable. In particular, the fuel economy was worse than for Tier 3. and: Two years after the start of testing with the 710 engine, EMD’s new parent Caterpillar decided to rethink the quest for a Tier 4 engine.
