I would think that most trains run on coal but I'm not sure I'll have to check on that.

Most trains run on diesel fuel these days. In the early days, trains ran on coal or wood to fuel the boilers. Today they have diesel engines that turn generators that power electric motors to drive the wheels. Quite a few trains also run on electricity provided by either a third rail or overhead cables.
