Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Steam Trains

How does a steam locomotive move heavy train cars?
The engine heats water in a big boiler to create steam. The expanding steam pushes heavy iron pistons back and forth, turning the large metal wheels attached to the tracks.
Why were steam trains often built near forests?
Early steam engines burned wood for fuel, and timber companies used railways to move heavy logs from deep forests to busy cities.
