Why diesel engine trains more used compare to steam engine trains?
Efficiency and cost. The maintenance of a steam engine can be very costly as compared to a diesel engine as well.
What are the advantages of using a steam engine train?
Steam engine trains used to be the only type of train that would work. They used to be iconic and were significant in the understanding of railroads. Today, steam engine trains offer no real advantages to other modes of transportation.
What is another nickname for the steam engine?
Another nickname for the steam engine is "locomotive," particularly when referring to the type of steam engine used in trains. Additionally, it is sometimes called a "steam locomotive" to emphasize its function in rail transport. The term "iron horse" is also used historically to describe steam-powered trains.
How are trains different from steam trains?

Can a train run on steam?
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.
What is the difference between steam and coal trains?
There isn't one coal is burnt in the train which heats the water turning it into stream which is pushed through a number of tight pipes building pressure to delivery drive to the wheels.Answer 2- A 'steam train' is a train which is being hauled by a steam powered engine.- A coal train is a train carrying coal. It may be pulled by a steam engine, and so also be a 'steam train', but modern trains are usually hauled by diesel or electric locomotives, and will not be steam trains.
When was the first engine created that ran on steam power?
The first engine that ran on steam power was created in 1813 by George Stephenson, this led to the invention of steam engine trains and many other inventions.
