Different steam locomotives use different fuels, some of these are:woodbituminous coalanthracite coalfuel oiletc.
What types of locomotives still use an incinerator?
Most if not all locomotives have switched over from the old style of a burning fuel source to a completely electric design. Pretty much every locomotive in use today have switched over to a hybrid design.
Which type of fuel does a train use?

These were usually fueled with either coal or fuel oil.

this nutss
Why is diesel electric used on locomotives?
Diesel electric is used on locomotives because the diesel electric system is much cleaner and quieter and more efficient than the old steam locomotives. The diesel fuel is used to run a generator which produces electric power which is used to power the electromagnetic drive motors mounted on the locomotives axles!
What did early airplanes use for fuel?
Gasoline, and in the early days of aviation all gasoline was the same.

yes
Why was blasting tunnels through mountains a necessity?
Because early locomotives did not have the power to climb steep slopes
