What is powered by coal?
steam boats and steam trains use coal power
Do the bullet train use coal?
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.
Do electric trains cause pollution?
The trains themselves do not cause pollution, but the source of the power such as a coal burning power plant does.

What type of coal do they use in trains?
What is the difference between steam and coal trains?
Well, darling, a steam train uses steam to power its engine, while a coal train hauls coal as cargo. So, to put it simply, one chugs along with passengers or freight, and the other just hauls coal like it's nobody's business. Hope that clears things up for you, sugar.
Why is coal no longer used in trains?
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.

Is coal used for power on trains?
Coal is not commonly used for power on modern trains; instead, most trains are powered by diesel or electricity. However, historically, steam locomotives relied on coal as a fuel source, burning it to produce steam for propulsion. While some heritage railways may still use coal-fired steam engines for tourist purposes, the majority of contemporary rail systems have moved away from coal due to environmental concerns and advancements in technology.
What type of coal do they use in trains?
Steam coal.
What is difference between old trains and new trains?
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.
