Regarding China's late dieselization, I will speculate that they used their steam locomotives to their fullest life potential, thus squeezing every penny out of the investment, before switching over to diesels. By that time, there were few if any steam locomotive manufacturers left in the world, while diesel locomotive manufacturers were aplenty. Perhaps if modern steam was still being marketed, they'd have continued with steamers at that time. <br /> <br />But of course this is pure speculation.
