Steam Trucks were noisy, dirty, and unreliable. Gas powered trucks first appeared in 1896, and were much more popular. These days, most trucks run from diesel fuel.
Steam trucks looked like steam trains, with large engines. They had big iron wheels and smoky funnels. They were so big and heavy that they ruined the roads.
Steam engines have been replaced by electric motors for most applications.
The reciprocating steam engine is no longer in widespread commercial use.
That's probably steam from a leaky heater core.
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.

Diesel and gasoline engines began to replace steam engines in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The widespread adoption of internal combustion engines in automobiles and trucks during the early 1900s, alongside advancements in diesel technology, contributed to the decline of steam power. By the mid-20th century, steam engines had largely been replaced in most applications, particularly in transportation. However, steam engines continued to be used in certain industries, such as power generation, for several decades thereafter.
A wagoner in WW1 would be equal to a "truck driver" in WW2. Army trucks replaced wagons, and tanks replaced horses in the army.
