A steam-powered train, also known as a steam engine train, is a type of train that uses steam energy to operate. The principle of operation is to heat water using burning coal or wood, among other fuels, to generate steam. The steam enters the steam engine to drive the piston, which in turn drives the train's wheels and propels the train forward. Steam-powered trains played a significant role in the transport industry in the 19th and early 20th centuries as one of the primary means of transportation. Nowadays, they have been replaced by electric trains, but they still hold high collectible value among railway enthusiasts.
