Okay, I'll be the contrarian regarding South Simcoe.
I'll take the diesel side too.
I'd rather watch/photograph a train going by, (steam or diesel, freight or
passenger) than ride on it. When I am riding in a passenger car it doesn't
make much difference to me what the power is. Maybe if I was riding in the
cab eating cinders (or whatever steam fans do) I'd be more inspired by the
steam experience. :-)
