yes
What type of coal do they use in trains?
Steam coal.
Coal is still used in many steam engines today. Coal is not used on diesel trains or electric trains simply because it is not fuel for them. Electric trains and diesel trains are the most common trains in use, and not trains capable of using coal, because they are more efficent and much less costly to maintain.
steam boats and steam trains use coal power
No. A train that uses coal for power is a steam train, those trains referred to as 'bullet trains' usually use electricity as their motive power.
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.
mainly around the house, trains and in major factorys
Companies use coal to generate electricity. People use coal to heat their houses. Steam trains use coal to power their engines. Companies use coal and burn them to make hot air to spin their turbine to make energy.
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.
New trains are not built to be coal powered. However there are still some steam trains run and maintained by amateur enthusiasts.
Yes
The difference between old and new trains is in their running gear and method of propulsion. Old trains used coal and steam while modern trains use diesel engines to power electrical motors.
