I think the longest Train pulled by Steam was the Train that left the Iaeger Coal Yard in Iaeger Wv. McDowell County West Virginia. It stretched from Iaeger to Bradshaw, and Had Three Steam Engines Hooked to it, My Great Uncle Lee Keaton was One of the Engineers. That was many Years ago, date not certain maybe someone can Help us a little on that. Probably today with all the new Technology around there might be longer ones, But I think that one holds the record as far a weight per car. That's the best I can do at this time.

Is there any difference between a locomotive and a steam train?

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.
