Steam trains were once widespread, and changed the world. A steam engine is an external combustion engine, meaning that the fuel burns outside the engine. In modern internal combustion engines the petrol or diesel burns inside the engine, and the gases produced expand and push the cylinders, and this motion eventually turns the wheels. In the steam engine the fuel burns in an external fire box. The heat boils the water to make steam, which pushes the cylinders. So it depends exactly what you mean by 'run'. Certainly there were and are steam trains, but the steam doesn't provide the energy to make it go, the fuel does.

Is a steam engine the same as a train?
No, a steam engine is not the same as a train. A steam engine is a type of engine that converts steam energy into mechanical work, while a train refers to a series of connected vehicles that run on tracks and can be powered by various types of engines, including steam engines, diesel engines, or electric motors. In essence, a steam engine can be a component of a train, but a train encompasses much more than just the engine itself.

What does train steam engine use fuel for?
