I'm pretty sure that there must be a technological solution to the problem?

I certainly don't think it'll be the end of steam on the mainline though, there would be outrage, although of course nobody can question the safety benefits of such systems.

I'm sure somebody will figure out a way to retrofit one of these new fangled things to a steam loco.
