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.
They are completely different engines; however, the most fundamental difference is that the Watt steam engine runs on steam, whereas the internal combustion engine runs on fuel oil.
Improve the steam engine
In an internal combustion engine fuel is burned in a combustion chamber or cylinder inside the engine
no.. by definition the combustion is outside of the engine. a steam engine would be an example.
Fuel is burned in power stations to generate heat, which is then used to produce steam. This steam drives turbines, which in turn spin generators to produce electricity. This process is the basis of most power generation plants around the world.
In a boiler, the energy transfer that takes place is from fuel combustion to water in the form of heat. The fuel is burned, producing heat that is then transferred to the water to create steam. This steam can then be used for various applications, such as power generation or heating.
combustion
External Combustion engine is an engine in which combustion of fuel takes place outside the cylinder. e.g.Coal fired steam engines in trains
A steam engine train is a train that was more commonly found in the mid 1800's. The trains would be powered by coal that would heat up water that would turn to steam and would power the Engine. .

You can't. No internal combustion engine will run on water except a steam engine, and even that requires another fuel to produce the steam.
Heat energy is released in a heat engine when fuel is burned. The heat energy is then changed into mechanical energy.
Yes if it has a steam engine
It depends, mostly coal.
