First, Diesel should be capitalized as a matter of respect, since it is the name of the inventor, Rudolph Diesel. Diesels have many advantages; fuel economy, one crew can run MANY engines/locomotives, less infrastructure required to maintain them, they can be readied much quicker (no time required to get steam pressure up), less required scheduled down time, etc. I am sure many others can add to the list.
Second, Steam Locomotives should be capitalized as a matter of respect, since they are infinitely better than Diseasels, I mean, Dismals, er, Dimwitsels, uh, OH!! Those 'other' thingys that RR's use now-a-days.
Well, I guess I have betrayed MY feelings on the subject... there AIN'T nuttin better than a USRA Railroad Steam Locomotive. PERIOD.
