Abstract | With the rapid spread of high-speed railway technology, there is a resurgence of interest in trains and railways. The main propulsive engine for railways was the steam engine for over a century, which gave way to the diesel and electrical engines. The steam engine was crucial to the birth and development of the railway industry, and understanding its evolution and application to railways can usefully illustrate a number of key principles in physics, particularly in heat and thermodynamics.
