The way I see it Steamers are living beings and must be treated and cared for as such
Diesel's are just Evil Robots... they get the job done and dont complain but at what cost... what cost... Not to say they cost more than steamers to maintain just that they are shifty eyed evil robots who cant be trusted!
I mean heck Diesel's these days can be run by remote control... just think about how it will be 20 years from now! God forbid someone have to do some physical labor or should I say God forbid a company have to pay someone for doing a required job when a computer can at a fraction of the cost...
