A steam train uses thermal energy generated by burning coal or wood to heat water in a boiler, producing steam. The steam is then used to drive a piston or turbine, converting the thermal energy into mechanical energy that propels the train forward.


Why was there a giant wheel on the first steam train?

This is a flywheel. It keeps the momentum going, after the initial injection of steam, so that the next valve can open and start the cycle again. later developments did away with the flywheel, by improving the valve system and having multiple cyclinders.
