Steam engines are still used in various places in Africa, in much the same way they have always been used. They are also used in several places of the world for tourism rides on heritage railways, to remind people of the age of steam. Examples are model railways and "the Hogwarts Express" in England and a picturesque ride which winds around the hill up to Darjeeling in India.
