Here is a link to some photos of Portola, photos of the engine are in there. Air start, direct reversing, built in 1929. In the 1970's we dropped a Cat 3208 in it, on a separate shaft to assist in maneuvering since the direct reversing means you literally shut the engine down, shift the cams and then start it up in reverse. I put a vid on youtube years ago that you could probably search for as well.
