The South African, back in apartheid days, used condensing, superheated steam locomotives on their Cape Town to Johannesberg routes.
They were about 9-10% thermally efficient. Diesel electrics are routinely 30-35% efficient over the duty cycle.
Can you imagine the EPA tolerating steam locomotives these days?
