Steam. steam, and did I say steam. You want clean, go to a car wash. you want beauty, go to a garden. If you want power, moving parts, living Steel mosters, and the true nature of the transportation industry, go to steam! Yea, diesils are nice, powerful, polute a little less, and are cheaper to maintain, but their more like rigs on rails, real railroads have been replaced by impostors! <br /> <br />on the other hand, they are cleaner. but on the other hand, railroads arent supposed to be clean. authough on the other hand they are easier to operate. but then on the other hand, they are lifeless, while steam engines seem to be alive. on the other hand.......THERE IS NO OTHER HAND! (Like my "fiddler on the roof" re-write) <br /> <br />of course electric engines could count, as was posted in another topic, as steam engines, because most power plants use steam to make electricity., so yeh, electrics ARE steam engines with extension cords.
