Steam locomotives have several drawbacks, including high fuel consumption due to the need for coal or wood, which can be costly and environmentally detrimental. They also require significant maintenance, as boilers and other components are subject to wear and tear. Additionally, steam engines take longer to start and reach operational speeds compared to diesel or electric locomotives, making them less efficient for modern rail transport needs. Lastly, the production of steam creates emissions and requires a steady water supply, complicating logistics in some areas.
