I just wany to point out when you say diesels were not the major factor for reducing the number of emploryees. Don't forget the engine crew, on a long train that required more than one steamer it required a crew for every loco while a desel only required one crew for the lead unit (not counting manned helper units). Perhaps not the number one reason, but certainly a top one.
