Old timer, I'm speculating there was a RIO drop of about half shortly after deilization, but that would be offset by the great increase after they layoffs of the 3rd man of steamers and the hundreds of support crews. <br /> <br />As I stated earlier, deisels increased ROI and profits by reducing the Manhours a railroad had to employ compared to steam. No longer did you need those turntables and roundhouses everywhere, nor the countless men who stationed refueling/watering points along the route. Specilized mechanics were replaced by the general mechanics, as most deisels had interchangeable parts and unlike steamers, didn't need to have certain parts fabricated on site. <br /> <br />After 9 pages of this, we still have Sol and company arguing with no direct evidence of anything except that manhours were reduced and profits were increased by deiselization.
