Way back when the earth was cooling back in the late 1960's, my parents went to Oshawa, Ontario to visit friends. While they visited, I wandered with my 8mm camera to see if I could take movies of anything. I came across and started filming the CPR doing some switching.
During a break in the action, some of the crew came over to talk with me. They asked me if I like steam or diesels. I told them steam (of course.) To a man they told me that while they liked steam, they all preferred diesels. Easier to start, easier to run, easier to stay clean on.
