An electric train does not generate steam

good joke,but it is electric.

Any vapor emitted by the train (which would be from auxiliaries, since the propulsion is electric) would travel due south at 65 mph.

the steam would go west because the driving was having a cigarette

Its an electric train so there wont be any steam...but if there were you could not see it...steam is invisible.... you can only see the water vapor....

Well, since the train is electric and has no steam the only steam there would be is from a drink or what not, and though it would not be seen it would travel NW @ 5 MPH.  Thanks for the 2 pts.  Appreciate it.

The steam would only be seen from the cup of tea the Guard and the Ticket Examiner have made whilst in the Guard's van, as Electric trains don't run on steam anymore.

And note to C NOTE Electric Trains don't eject waste urine only HST's do that, they get stored on Electrics.

the only steam from the electric train would be the steam from the p**s ejected from the toilet - it would go every which way and have a nasty smell to boot.

Is that an electric locomotive with a steam heat generator?

You must be really really really young.

if steam you are refering to is inside the car from a hot drink, steam would go up. it is traveling as the same speed as the train (law of inertia) and its not affected by the wind since its in an enclosed space.

Where is your train circulating ?

Which country ? In Germany, I heard trains where on right side?

The only steam coming from that train is the steam from the drivers tea.

The steam will go Northwest Direction provided the steam is actually present as mentioned in the quest. somehow generated.

Its an electric train, heard that one before!

well obveously you didn't take physics in high school. if the train is going at 60 mph with no wind the steam would still go up, and if the train is going 60 mph with a 65 mph cross wind then the steam would blow with the wind and go up too. so in conclusion im right, your an idiot, and i deffanitly deserve the best answer award. because i have nevre gotten a best answer.
