Contrary to what ID2573951383 thinks, trains are powered, dar, or they wouldn't be able to move. Most modern day trains are powered by a single car called a locomotive that pulls the rest of the train. Locomotives are typically powered by diesel although electric locomotives are also becoming popular. In the past locomotives were powered by steam.
