New Power on the Wine Train

I took a quick drive up the Napa Valley this morning in a space of 4 miles I encountered 3 sperate wine trains! None of them were being powered by the famous FA Alcos. The 10 car dinner train was being powered by Sierra nr 48 solo no less with a brand new all gold pain job, looked pretty good and no smoke! What are they burning for fuel? The two wine tour trains had two sperate 44 ton diesels with several gold cars from the Sierra. Whats going on here and what happened to the Alco FAs. Seems like the solo #48 was doing a good job pulling the 10 car train of heaveyweights with no sweat! Lots of cars from the Sierra dinner train, anyone no the story behind that? Are they out of buissness or did the Sierra get new equipment? Thanks in advance.
