Why don't trains use petrol engines?

Trains primarily use diesel or electric engines instead of petrol engines due to their efficiency and power requirements. Diesel engines provide greater torque and are more suitable for the heavy loads and long distances typical of train operations. Additionally, electric engines are more efficient for high-speed travel and can utilize overhead power lines or third rails, making them a more sustainable option. Petrol engines, on the other hand, are less efficient for such applications and are not designed for the scale of energy needed to operate trains effectively.
