Steam railway

A Steam railway utilizes locomotives powered by steam engines, which generate energy by burning fuel (like coal or wood) to heat water in a boiler. The resulting steam creates pressure that moves pistons connected to wheels, propelling the train forward. These railways were among the earliest forms of mechanized transportation, revolutionizing travel and trade in the 19th century. Today, steam railways are often preserved or operated as heritage or tourist attractions, showcasing historical engineering and offering a nostalgic experience. They exemplify the transition from manual craftsmanship to modern transportation, highlighting the technological ingenuity of the Industrial Revolution.
