In addition to seperating the issue into economics and technology, I wonder if strong vs. weak railroads also factor into it. Roads like the Santa-Fe ran their F units on passenger trains right up to Amtrak. They also had that CF7 rebuilding program. UP also diselized in a more measured fashion and they had some first hand experience with diesels from running them on the City Streamliners. Did weaker roads such as the Rock Island see diesels as a silver bullet to solve all their problems and did the easy payment plans just postpone the inevitable?
