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.
