    The passage discusses the history of trains. It states that the first steam engine to pull a passenger train was built nearly 200 years ago. It then explains that trains now use different power sources like diesel fuel and electricity to travel faster and use less fuel. Some key points are that trains using diesel fuel have large engines, electric trains can run underground through tunnels, and the fastest train is the Japanese bullet train which can reach 300 kilometers per hour.

    boil water and make steam. Trains have changed a lot over time. They use
    different sorts of power to help them travel faster and use less fuel.
    Some trains use diesel fuel and some use electricity.
    Trains that use diesel fuel have large, heavy engines
    that use less fuel than other engines. In many cities,
    passenger trains run on electricity. Some electric
    trains run underground through tunnels. One of the
    fastest trains in the world is called the bullet train.
    It is a Japanese electric train. It can travel at 300
    kilometers per hour.
