The main fuel IS diesel fuel for both both trains and ships, most freight trains run on electric motors that are powered in most cases by diesel engined generators, while passenger trains are powered by diesel, or directly from an overhead power line, or electrified rail. Trains of course used to be powered by steam, fired by wood or coal.
old sailing ships obviously used to be powered by wind and/or manpower. Later they were powered by steam, usually coal fired, and then by diesel fuel.
