Are there any steam trains running in the railway station now?
After the invention of steam train, railway traffic developed rapidly, which brought great convenience to people's production and life. However, steam locomotives are bulky (huge boilers), slow in speed, low in efficiency and loud in noise.
Diesel locomotives and electric locomotives on the railway gradually eliminated the shortcomings of poor working environment (high temperature, smoke and dust). China and many countries in the world no longer produce steam engines.
The elimination of steam locomotives began in 1950s, when steam locomotives polluted Beijing, and the Prime Minister instructed to realize smoke-free urban areas. Therefore, there are four kinds of domestic locomotives as the seeds of new locomotives for the anniversary of 10. Four kinds of cars are scattered, and they are still successful.
The real elimination is to eliminate the world steam locomotives left over before liberation with domestic locomotives. Of course, only some mountain lines are electrified by internal combustion, and the time range is basically in the 1970s. The main reason is that the production and quality of the relevant vehicles can not meet the expectations of the locomotive depot and cannot be replaced on a large scale.
It was not until the 1980s that the locomotive was replaced again, and the steam was gradually eliminated from the trunk line. Instead, Dongfeng 4 and Shaoshan 1/3, as well as Dongfanghong/Beijing and other second-generation "smokeless" locomotives.
In the 1990s, the first generation of "smokeless" locomotives were gradually decentralized to the whole railway, completely replacing the trunk lines of steam locomotives, and a few lines also had steam locomotives or steam locomotives owned by factories and mines.
Now you may only see a few scenic spots or mining areas. It's all for personal use.
