No way steam will ever come back. Too expensive to wire all the track for electric operations. They will stay diesel for the foreseeable future with possible tricks installed as regenerative braking, computer efficency controls, and even remote or computer operation. They could save some fuel by slowing them down if not for the increase in cost for operators, so I see them slowing them down and letting a computer drive them from point a to b. Any other changes are probably cost prohibitive. Now if fusion comes on line all bets are off. Fred
