I love big engines like that. I got to run 4 much smaller 8-cylinder 4-stroke turbodiesels at my part-time job in college.
Fun facts:
The large tubes with the gauges on the end are for compressed air, which is used for starting.
The grey "cage" over the flywheel is basically a giant alternator connected directly to the crankshaft.
The smaller thing in the yellow cage on the end is a true generator, which is used to excite the alternator in case of total power failure.
The turbos radiate the heat of a thousand suns when everything is going full bore.

Now, do the math real quick and realize that 114,500HP @ 102rpm is almost 5,900,000Ft-lbs of torque.
