Hello, <br /> <br />Sure, I understand the progression from Steam to Diesel, <br />but perhaps someone more knowledgeable has an answer <br />for me. What caused the demise of all of the <br />beautiful F and Alco units ? (among others) <br />Save for the modern FP Amtrak locomotives, all of the rest <br />are so similar looking. <br />Also, am I incorrect in my belief that there are more steamers <br />preserved than streamliners? <br />Of course, to me they both have an important place in railroading. <br /> <br />great forum, <br />thanks ! <br /> <br />driver8 <br />on the BNSF mainline in Iowa, USA !!! <br /> <br />
