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.

When does a train's brakes start exerting force on the train's wheels?
A train's brakes start exerting force on the wheels when the brake system is activated by the engineer using either compressed air (pneumatic brakes) or electricity (electric brakes). The force applied by the brakes creates friction between the brake pads and the wheels, which slows down the train.
What is a diesel electric loco?
