Let's cross a diesel engine with a steam engine...and see what kind of offspring they produce. I think they've kinda,sorta,done that Think 'Steam-Turbine-Electrics'. (C & O,N & W, especially) But that's got nothing to do with diesel. Maybe we could burn diesel fuel in the firebox of the steam-turbine-electric, but that would be plain silly. Then again so's the rest of this thread. Now if we could figure a way to work a nuclear reactor into this contraption and incorporate some hobo wheels with pumped storage, we could hook it up to the power grid and use it to supply electricity and pull trains hauling spools of new power lines to set up along the right of way. The train could also haul a load of snowmobiles to be distributed to waiting hobos along the way at regular intervals. Then all our problems would be solved, except for farmers in Montana.
