Depends on the type of engine that the train is equipped with. Steam, diesel, electricity, (supplied by overhead wires or additional rails,) batteries, gas turbine. (Steam was the dominant form of locomotive power from the early 19th century to the mid 20th century).

Your question is somewhat uncustomary. It should be asked this way : How does the different types of engine in a train produce power? It is unnecessary to provide detailed explanations on how the different kinds of engine work. That's a technical information which is not interesting for the inquisitor.

How much power can the average steam train produce?

The average steam train can produce around 1,000 to 3,000 horsepower, depending on its design and size. Larger locomotives, particularly those used for freight, can generate even more power, with some capable of exceeding 4,000 horsepower. The power output is influenced by factors such as the boiler pressure, the size of the cylinders, and the efficiency of the steam engine. Overall, steam trains were significant engineering achievements, providing substantial power for their time.


What is deifference between steam engene and electric engine?

A steam engine requires water to be heated to produce steam. This steam is used in pistons to produce movement, as in a steam train. An electric engine can produce the same energy, as in an electric car, and is far less bulky than a steam engine.


What does train steam engine use fuel for?

A steam engine uses fuel to generate heat, which converts water into steam. This steam then expands and drives pistons or turbines, creating mechanical energy to power the train. Common fuels include coal, wood, or oil, which are burned in a firebox to produce the necessary heat for steam production.
