steam engines had too many failure prone/maintenance intensive aspects. diesels had a phenomenally higher "hours available per month" I love steam and particularly the NKP Berks, but once the spare parts suppliers crumbled, it was over even for them. Could Ross Rowlands' powdered coal ACE 3000 have reversed the odds? I don't know although I wish it had been tried. RRR managementin my view is way oo slow in checking out anything new.
