How A Steam Locomotive Actually Works
Here's how a steam train works! You burn coal! Coal boils water! Steam builds pressure inside a sealed boiler until it has nowhere to go! It forces its way into a cylinder which Pushes a piston. That piston connects to the wheels! A controlled explosion of water vapor is moving hundreds of tonnes of steel at a hundred miles an hour.
