An electric train is run by electrical energy Which is usually made using steam turbines which are fueled using coal, oil and in some cases nuclear energy (uranium). Some of this energy may also be initialy acquired through hydro electric, wind or solar collectors.
A diesel ellectric runs on electric motors which derive their power from electricity generators on the engine that are run in turn by diesel motors.
Aside from the Uranium the energy used to run all of these sources originates in the sun.

What fuel used in train?
Disel is used by train.
What runs train engines?
Train engines today are usually powered by diesel fuel, which is burned in conventional internal combustion diesel engines, which turn electric generators, which produce electricity that is used to drive electric motors that drive the wheels.
An electric train is moving north at 100kph and a wind is blowing to the west at 10kph Which way does the smoke blow?
No smoke on an electric train (unless its on fire).
Which fuel is used for running metro train?
Usually electricity.
What is the difference between a steam train and a electric train?
A steam train is powered by steam generated from boiling water, typically using coal or wood as fuel, which drives a piston to turn the wheels. In contrast, an electric train relies on electricity supplied through overhead wires or an electrified track, using electric motors for propulsion. Steam trains are generally older technology and are often associated with historical railways, while electric trains are more efficient, faster, and commonly used in modern rail systems. Additionally, electric trains produce less pollution during operation compared to steam trains.
Which word in the phrase electric train set is a noun?
In the term 'electric train set', the nouns are 'train' and set', forming the compound noun 'train set'. The word electric is an adjective describing the train set.
Can a petrol electric fuel be used for diesel?
I don't know what a 'petrol electric fuel' might be. You certainly can't use petrol in a diesel engine.
How does a modern electric train generate power?
Electric trains usually get power from overhead power cables or an electrified third rail below. Locomotives can use diesel fuel to generate electric voltage to run the engine.
Do electric train motors have gears and transmissions?
No, the electric train are gearless. They do not have have gears in their transmissions.
Would an electric train use a locomotive?
Yes an electric train uses a locomotive.

A tiny electric shock is used to prod he fles to do or not do certain behaviors.
What is the most widely used fuel at US electric plant?
Coal
