Steam railroads were so called because they were typically powered by Steam Locomotives hauling unpowered passenger or Freight cars, as opposed to light railways that were more typically powered by Electric ity, Cable or Animal power. The term ''steam railroad'' continued in use in the generic sense long after most steam power disappeared from American railroads by the 1950 s, but is now only used to describe tourist railroads that run steam locomotives. |
