A steam train is powered by steam generated from boiling water, typically using coal or wood as fuel, which drives a piston to turn the wheels. In contrast, an electric train relies on electricity supplied through overhead wires or an electrified track, using electric motors for propulsion. Steam trains are generally older technology and are often associated with historical railways, while electric trains are more efficient, faster, and commonly used in modern rail systems. Additionally, electric trains produce less pollution during operation compared to steam trains.
It takes pressurized steam to move the Pistons in a steam train. It takes a generator to produce electricity to power the motors on his (trucks) wheels on an electric train.
a steam boat is on the water and a train is on railroad tracks
What type of locomotive pulls it.
a electric train is faster than a steam engine
A steam engine requires water to be heated to produce steam. This steam is used in pistons to produce movement, as in a steam train. An electric engine can produce the same energy, as in an electric car, and is far less bulky than a steam engine.
nowhere coz an electric train doesnt have a steam
Steam, diesel, and electric.
A locomotive (also called an engine) is a vehicle that provides the power to pull (or push) a train. As well as the locomotive, the train consist of the vehicles which actually contain what is being transported. These can be either freight wagons, or passenger carriages. Locomotives are classified depending on how they are powered. The first locomotives were steam powered (a 'steam engine'), modern locomotives are either powered by electricity or by a diesel engine (an 'electric locomotive' or a 'diesel locomotive'). A steam train is a train which is being powered by a steam engine. Some passenger trains have diesel or electric motors under the carriages and do not need a separate locomotive.
Steam trains are powered by steam and relies upon the presure from the steam in the boiler. Diesel trains work the same way a normal car does with a motor and a lot of fuel. Electric trains rely upon the motor, but also a constant power connection either through a third rail or overheard wires. Diesel and electrical trains are normally faster and cleaner than steam. +++ Actually the motive power unit is a "locomotive" or (if steam) "engine"; NOT a 'train'. The "train" is the set of rolling-stock it tows.
Generally speaking electric trains don't make smoke.
If the wind wasn't blowing and the train was moving it would blow south. If the train was stopped and the wind was blowing east the steam would be blowing east. Because the train is moving and the wind is blowing it would be moving both to the south and the east. diferent answer by another person me... An electric train does not have steam!!!!!!!
electric and diesel on regular routes. some steam on tourist routes.
