steam train
Puffing rail vehicle
A steam train is a train pulled by a locomotive powered by a steam engine, where burning fuel heats water to produce steam that drives pistons.
Steam trains dominated rail transport from the early 1800s until diesel and electric engines replaced them in the mid-20th century.
The term evokes nostalgia for an earlier era of travel: We took a heritage steam train through the mountains.
