How long before Russia is rolling their old steam locomotives out of their museums and pressing them into service? Not that they have the infrastructure to support it, of course.
They are killing their labor force, and steam engines need more labor. (In the US diesel engines used more fuel than a steam engine when steam was retired - but it needed less people to run and so was overall a lot cheaper. I don't know how Russia compares but I assume similar)
