Do they run on steam? Asking for a long lost friend.
Thanks

Wouldn't it have been cheaper to make the bridge in a straight line?Most of them run on tracks. Was on this one last week.
Why is it so high up and how do the passengers get on.?Most of them run on tracks. Was on this one last week.
NoSimply put, anything which will burn is used to generate heat. (The main types of fuel used are oil and coal.)
This heat boils water which produces steam. The steam is fed through pipes of ever decreasing diameter (increasing the pressure) which is then fed into the cylinders to provide the power to drive the wheels.
I hope this answers your question.
Shirley it's the rapidly expansion of the steam in the cylinder that provides the motive power? The compressor of the steam through the reducing diameters is to allow for the rapid expansion?
