    Good luck running your steam engine without it!

    Also:

    tidal

    Pretty sure there aren’t moon-powered trains, bro, but nice try.

      A steam engine can also be used to generate power, or to operate mechanical indistrial equipment like rock crushers or pumps, as a stationary device, but in hindsight the tidal power probably never gets that hot. The engine for moving trains could also be powered by electricity from wind or tidal, though I don’t think there are any practical examples.
