What type of coal do they use in trains?
Coal is still used in many steam engines today. Coal is not used on diesel trains or electric trains simply because it is not fuel for them. Electric trains and diesel trains are the most common trains in use, and not trains capable of using coal, because they are more efficent and much less costly to maintain.
It is found deep in the ground. It was used to power things like steam trains.
steam boats and steam trains use coal power
No. A train that uses coal for power is a steam train, those trains referred to as 'bullet trains' usually use electricity as their motive power.
The trains themselves do not cause pollution, but the source of the power such as a coal burning power plant does.
The difference between old and new trains is in their running gear and method of propulsion. Old trains used coal and steam while modern trains use diesel engines to power electrical motors.

Steam coal
Home heating, electricity and was traditionally used as fuel in steam engine ships and trains. Early trains all had a coal car to carry it.
