Anybody in the industry would know EMD hasn't made new 567s for forty years. Since then have been the 645s and 710s.

An inline engine is inherently heavier than a Vee. An inline has one "crankcase per cylinder. A Vee has two cylinders per crankcase.

A flat engine (a Vee with a 180 degree included angle is very smooth because all forces are equally opposed.

Inline engines are generally easier to work on.
