Diesel powered trains are still used worldwide.As a matter of fact they are the main "rolling stock" in the USA
More to the point "Frankie" Electrified rail is currently used on less than 1 percent of U.S. railroad tracks, while only a little more than one-third of the trains trains globally are electrified.
In fact many European countries (including the UK )have in recent years been forced to re-introduce retired diesel locomotives BECAUSE OF THE SEVERE SHORTFALL IN ELECTRIFIED RAIL LINES.

Rail transport is still by far the cheapest and fastest way of transporting large volumes of goods on land. Today's most developed nations gave top priority to building extensive rail network during the very early stages of their development. The development of countries such as the USA,UK France etc were directly linked to the establishment and rapid expansion of railway systems during the 19th century.
