The steam, created by water heated by coal or some other fuel, creates pressure when released into the cylinder, moving the piston, thus moving the train or boat forward or backward.
They used to travel by trains,bicycles and on foot on land and by ships.
First were sailing ships, THEN steam ships.
The same things modern trains are used for: hauling cargo and people.
The first steam train was made in 1804 in the United Kingdom. Richard Trevithick built the locomotive and his design led to the trains used in the US.
Ships and boats move large quantities and large products at a low cost. Ships are relatively slow and must be used in combination with trucks or railroads to move goods to shipping centers.
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.
In the 1800's steam engines were used successfully everywhere, in trains, ships, factories, farm and road vehicles and many more applications.
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.

Steam coal
First were sailing ships, THEN steam ships.
Because they used steam engines, which rely on fire to turn water into steam to power pistons which makes the train move. Also, while in use some of the steam is always released, creating big steam clouds around the locomotive.

Probably a ship. Steam engines were the first to be used for transportation and they were installed in Ships and Trains long before cars were invented.

Most countries have some rivers on which steam ships were used. You need to state a specific country.
