Forza Locomotive
Power Generation
The Forza locomotive is powered in a similar way to Forza Wagons. However, locomotives do not require the liquid fuel that Forza wagons need, but instead simply require any sort of combustible fuel and water to generate steam. Locomotive trains also need not a transmission, as it already generates enough power to move.
Water is poured into a massive tank built into the front of the locomotive. The tank is promptly heated both using power generated by coal and by ruby Forza crystal burners. The combination of these heat sources makes it more efficient than it would have if it were just using one or the other. As the water boils into steam, it travels through pipes that push and pull pistons at the sides of the vehicle. The pistons mechanically drive a system of levers and bars, causing the wheels to generate great amounts of rotation and therefor, movement.
Because the steel wheels ride on metal rails, the locomotive has the ability to push and/or pull cargo and passengers that far exceed the capacity of any airship or forza wagon, as lack of friction but great weight means better overall movement power.
Armor and defense
While not built to be combative/armored vehicles, Forza trains are decently durable, given how they are basically massive hunks of metal. The same can't be said about the carts and freight that they may pull.
Communication Tools & Systems
Certain locomotives may be equipped with Greater Sending Stones for the conductors and drivers to use for communication.
