A Steam Train Among Wildflowers

The steam locomotive and its carriage travel along railroad tracks through a scenic setting. A lush band of wildflowers spreads across the foreground, with a tall plant standing on the right. Clumps of shrubs and fluffy clouds complete the landscape behind the train.

Steam Power on the Railway

A steam locomotive heats water in a boiler to make pressurized steam, which moves pistons connected to its driving wheels. Steam trains once carried passengers and freight over long distances, including routes through open countryside. Vegetation beside a railway must be managed so that it does not block signals or interfere with passing trains.

Colors Found Around a Steam Train

  • Locomotive body: commonly black, dark green, deep red, or blue
  • Metal wheels and rods: black, steel gray, or red on some preserved engines
  • Wildflower petals: yellow, white, pink, purple, blue, or red
  • Leaves, tall plant, and shrubs: shades of light, medium, and dark green
  • Clouds: white with soft pale gray undersides
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

What makes the wheels of a steam locomotive turn?
Hot steam pushes pistons back and forth. Connecting rods transfer that movement to the large driving wheels and turn them along the rails.
Why does a steam locomotive release steam?
Some steam leaves after doing its work in the cylinders, and some may be released through valves to control pressure safely. This can produce the familiar clouds seen around working steam engines.
Can wildflowers grow near railroad tracks?
Wildflowers can grow on suitable ground beside a railway where they receive enough sunlight and water. They must remain far enough from the rails and railway equipment to avoid creating a hazard.
