What are was the major fuel for trains and ships?
The main fuel IS diesel fuel for both both trains and ships, most freight trains run on electric motors that are powered in most cases by diesel engined generators, while passenger trains are powered by diesel, or directly from an overhead power line, or electrified rail. Trains of course used to be powered by steam, fired by wood or coal. old sailing ships obviously used to be powered by wind and/or manpower. Later they were powered by steam, usually coal fired, and then by diesel fuel.
What is the difference between a modern train and a 1870's train?
the victorian steam train is un healthy for the enviremont because of the smoke on the train,now a days we have electricle trains so its good for the enviremont +++ The main differences are greater size or capacity on main-line trains, speed and comfort - for crew as well as passengers! As for speed, in the days before the wagons were fitted with continuous brakes, goods trains made up with such wagons on British railways were limited to about 30mph. Modern freight trains run at much higher speeds where the track is cleared for fast running. Similarly express passenger trains from the late 18C to the end of steam traction (1968, the last ones) averaged only about 60mph; the modern High-Speed diesel or electric trains run at up to about 120mph, others from 70 to about 90.
