Locomotives are powered by various means. Steam locomotives at the ILS are typically fired with coal or propane. Oil is another fuel used to fire some steam locomotives. Diesel and electric locomotive models may be gas/hydraulic powered, gas/hydrostatic powered, battery powered, gas/electric (like real locomotives today) or some other methods of power transmission (some quite ingenious).
