steam boats and steam trains use coal power
What type of coal do they use in trains?
its more efficient and diesel trains consume more natural resources like oil which is also used for planes, cars and boats. only steam trains use coal.
Coal is still used in many steam engines today. Coal is not used on diesel trains or electric trains simply because it is not fuel for them. Electric trains and diesel trains are the most common trains in use, and not trains capable of using coal, because they are more efficent and much less costly to maintain.

Home heating, electricity and was traditionally used as fuel in steam engine ships and trains. Early trains all had a coal car to carry it.
The steam engine helped power machines which was able to help process more coal and iron. It also powered trains and boats which could transport more coal and iron, making productivity much faster.
