They found that diesel and electric locomotives, some two and a half times as efficient as steam engines, were more economical to run.
Hulle het gevind dat diesel- en elektriese lokomotiewe, wat omtrent twee en ’n half keer doeltreffender as stoomenjins is, meer ekonomies is om te gebruik.

In France, even before World War I, electrically driven locomotives powered suburban trains, and following the war they were used over long-distance lines.
Selfs voor die Eerste Wêreldoorlog het elektries aangedrewe lokomotiewe in Frankryk die voorstedelike treine getrek, en ná die oorlog is hulle oor lang afstande gebruik.

Locomotives —steam, diesel, and electric engines— and rolling stock including coaches, all of which were formerly imported, were now produced locally.
Lokomotiewe—stoom-, diesel- en elektriese enjins—en spoorwegwaens, onder andere passasierswaens, wat vroeër alles ingevoer is, was nou plaaslik vervaardig.

Some of the engines were real behemoths —locomotives weighing up to 230 tons, electric engines of 6,000 horsepower, and a 123-ton diesel engine with 3,100 horsepower.
Van die enjins was werklik kolossaal—lokomotiewe wat tot 230 ton geweeg het, elektriese enjins van 4 500 kilowatt en ’n dieselenjin van 2 300 kilowatt wat 123 ton geweeg het.

Judging by the tenacity of steam buffs—people who preserve and restore steam locomotives—and now others who champion diesel and electric traction trains, the future of railways is assured.
Te oordeel na die toegewydheid van stoomentoesiaste—mense wat stoomlokomotiewe bewaar en herstel—en nou ander wat voorstanders van diesel- en elektriese treine is, is die toekoms van spoorweë verseker.
