Difference between Dieselisation and Steam locomotive

Dieselisation vs. Steam locomotive

Dieselisation or dieselization is a term generally used for the increasingly common use of diesel fuel in vehicles, or known to be said "Rise of diesel power" as opposed to gasoline or steam engines. A steam locomotive is a type of railway locomotive that produces its pulling power through a steam engine.
