Difference between steam trains and electric trains?
It takes pressurized steam to move the Pistons in a steam train. It takes a generator to produce electricity to power the motors on his (trucks) wheels on an electric train.
What is the difference between a steam boat and a train?

What is the difference between a steam train and a train?
What type of locomotive pulls it.

What is the difference between steam and coal trains?
There isn't one coal is burnt in the train which heats the water turning it into stream which is pushed through a number of tight pipes building pressure to delivery drive to the wheels.Answer 2- A 'steam train' is a train which is being hauled by a steam powered engine.- A coal train is a train carrying coal. It may be pulled by a steam engine, and so also be a 'steam train', but modern trains are usually hauled by diesel or electric locomotives, and will not be steam trains.
What is deifference between steam engene and electric engine?
A steam engine requires water to be heated to produce steam. This steam is used in pistons to produce movement, as in a steam train. An electric engine can produce the same energy, as in an electric car, and is far less bulky than a steam engine.
If an electric train is going east and the wind is blowin west which way is the steam blowin?

What are the different kinds of train locomotives from the first steam engine to todays latest train?

Is there any difference between a locomotive and a steam train?
A locomotive (also called an engine) is a vehicle that provides the power to pull (or push) a train. As well as the locomotive, the train consist of the vehicles which actually contain what is being transported. These can be either freight wagons, or passenger carriages. Locomotives are classified depending on how they are powered. The first locomotives were steam powered (a 'steam engine'), modern locomotives are either powered by electricity or by a diesel engine (an 'electric locomotive' or a 'diesel locomotive'). A steam train is a train which is being powered by a steam engine. Some passenger trains have diesel or electric motors under the carriages and do not need a separate locomotive.
What is the difference between a steam train and other trains?
Steam trains are powered by steam and relies upon the presure from the steam in the boiler. Diesel trains work the same way a normal car does with a motor and a lot of fuel. Electric trains rely upon the motor, but also a constant power connection either through a third rail or overheard wires. Diesel and electrical trains are normally faster and cleaner than steam. +++ Actually the motive power unit is a "locomotive" or (if steam) "engine"; NOT a 'train'. The "train" is the set of rolling-stock it tows.
If the electric train went south and the wind went east which way did the steam go?
Generally speaking electric trains don't make smoke.
If an electric train is travelling 80 km an hour north and the wind is blowing 40 km east what way is the steam going to travell?
If the wind wasn't blowing and the train was moving it would blow south. If the train was stopped and the wind was blowing east the steam would be blowing east. Because the train is moving and the wind is blowing it would be moving both to the south and the east. diferent answer by another person me... An electric train does not have steam!!!!!!!
