In the popular 1985 film Back to the Future, the DeLorean needed to go 88 mph (and 1.21 gigawatts) to travel back in time. Doc stole plutonium to power the time machine's flux capacitor and sent Marty back to 1955.

How did the doc make the time train in Back to the Future 3?

In "Back to the Future Part III," Doc Brown creates the time train by converting the DeLorean into a steam engine-powered train. He modifies the train to include the flux capacitor and other necessary components to enable time travel. The train runs on tracks, allowing it to build up the required speed to initiate time travel, similar to how the DeLorean operated in the previous films. Doc uses this new time machine to return to the future after the events in the Wild West.
