Steam Locomotives Navigating Mountain Passes
A classic steam locomotive travels along railroad tracks set against a rugged mountain backdrop. The train engine features large drive wheels connected to mechanical pistons, pulling a passenger car behind it. The surrounding landscape highlights the engineering required to lay train tracks through high-altitude terrain.
How Steam Engines Conquered Mountains
Steam engines generate power by boiling water in a heavy boiler to create pressurized steam, which pushes pistons that turn the locomotive's large wheels. Railroad tracks designed for mountain regions often feature gradual curves and steady inclines to prevent heavy trains from losing traction on steep slopes. Mountain railways frequently cut through rock passes and cross deep valleys to connect remote towns.
