Diesel electric will probably never reach the power output of steam. But they are magnitudes more efficient and safer. Steam power is nothing to shake a stick at.
@@adrianspeederlifting yes. Above 15 mph no. It will require 2-3 diesel electrics to match the tractive effort of one steam locomotive. 3 six axle locomotives only make about 25-30,000 after 15-20 mph. Steam on the other hand keeps building after that speed. That is why it takes 4 modern 6 axel locomotives to do what big boy did alone in the past.

The 'slip' allows mechanical engineers to check the motion action. It's done by coating the rails with grease. In the steam era some railway/railroad companies had special rolling roads, the French had one as did British Railways.

We don't even clean the fucking toilets in modern locomotives. Believe it or not, they knew how to railroad back in the day. We today are still trying to figure it out.
Given that this is a steam locomotive, using the old methods tends to work. A slip test on a diesel probably wouldn't yield any information.
In diesel locomotives, the wheels are usually coupled directly to the electric drive motors. No need for all the linkages and actuators.
