I think it's mostly just what you perfer. I'm a steam locomotive guy. I think because of my age. I was born in 1941. Steam was the motive power of the day. When I was a little kid in New Jersey I would go two blocks away and sit on the bridge and watch steam locomotives pull there loads. Sure was impressive!

I can remember two Pacifics pulling together work very long trains. Was great!
