[/quote] How much do you think the savings amounted to in numbers, dollars, perhaps percentages? [/quote] Dieselization of a railroad immediately eliminated 90% of shop, maintenance and support employees. Capital and maintenance cost for steam support infrastructure dropped to nothing. Train crew size dropped dramatically also, but occurred over a longer period of time. What was the train crew size with triple headed steam? 10? With three diesels? 2? Romance aside, diesel electrics are superior to steam locomotives in every way. From a business standpoint, a classic no brainer. Inevitable. Mark
