I think it was either because of local emissions ordinance, or the fact that the park was built at the tail-end of the Eisner era, which could mean that Eisner was either too lazy to go out steam locomotive hunting, or too cheap to build new ones.
If they were steam powered, they should have made them burn vegetable oil. Like 29 & 4960 on the Grand Canyon railway, and 148 on the U.S. Sugar railroad in Florida, all of them burn vegetable oil to be eco friendly.
I think it's a shame HKDL's trains are diesel powered and not live steam like the rest of the parks. It's another example of the cost cutbacks of the park. Hopefully they'll have live steam engines in the future now the expansion has begun.
+Ryan Simmons I think going with diesel powered steam "outlines" was a decision made with the enviromental impact in mind and the particular requirements with the location of the park. What i think is a bigger shame is that Shanghai is not supposed to have a railroad at all, which is extremely disappointing to me as the railroad is one of the main reasons as to why Disneyland existed in the first place.
Apparently, Shanghai doesn't have a train because of its connection to the many Chinese immigrants who died building the First Transcontinental Railroad. That, or reasons related to local emissions ordinance.

Nice Train!
Hong Kong 🇭🇰
Where are you taking that train to?
Hong Kong 3rd Floor Asia
I wish HK Disneyland railroad will use real steam-powered trains, instead of diesel-outlines.
