A Steam Locomotive Train

A steam locomotive train is a form of rail transport consisting of a

series of vehicles that usually run along a rail track. The function of a steam
locomotive train is transport cargo and passengers. The train usually has more
than 100 m long, it causes the train can transport many cargo and passengers. A
steam locomotive train has tough and rigid material, so the train can transport
more than 1500 kg weight, because it is made by metal. The train consist of
locomotive, railway coaches, engine, wheel and railway track.
Locomotive of the train is rectangular prim in shape. It so taught
because it made by metal. The position of it is on the front of the train. On front of
the locomotive there is flat glass to see situation out side of the train. Windscreen
wiper is to clean the winds, and the lamp to lighting the train. There are 2 people
in the locomotive, the engineer and his assistant, because If many people in the
locomotive make the engineer disturbed, the locomotive server the engineer to
steering the train.
The railway coaches are capable of carrying passengers and cargos. The
train usually consist of about seven railway coach, it causes the train has long
body. The railway coaches are rectangular prim in shape. It consist of windows
and door that fixed to the railway coach and seat that fixed at the bottom of
railway coach. The windows are made by glass, the glass is transparent, so we can
see scenery outside of the train, but we must be careful and not punch hard the
windows because it is a brittle material. The door is made by metal, the door
enables passengers to get in and out. A railway coach has the capacity to transport

50 passengers so a train can transport about 350 passengers. There is baggage in

railway coach. the position of it is over the passengers. With the help of the
baggage, the passengers can take their load in the baggage and they enjoyed.
The engine is important part of the train. The function of the engine is
to supply energy to the train, so the train can move. The position of the engine is
the tip of the train.
The wheel of train is circular in shape, the wheel of train is big, rigid
and tough because it made by steel. The two wheel is connected by a block of
steel so the wheel very strong. The position of it is between the body of train and
railway track. The type of wheel is appropriate with type of railway track, it
causes the train still in the railway track automatically.
The railway track consist of two rectangle prim of steel, the steels are
bundled in parallel, between two steel there is a bolster to keep wide of railway
track constant.
The train move quickly on railway track that steering by engineer. The
train can move forward very fast more than 200 km/ hours, but cannot move
backward. The train can also turn right and turn left.
How the steam locomotive train can moves on railway track?
First fire is produced in the firebox which burns wood or coal,. then hot gases
released by combustion enter tubes in the boiler.
Second, the water in the boiler is heated at the hottest location, on around the
firebox and produces steam. Then steam pressure builds in the boiler as the water
expands and is then released into the cylinders to move the pistons after that the
back and fort movement of the piston moves the rods that turn the wheels, and
train moved.
