Close enough I think: Just watched the new mission impossible dead reckoning. Pretty sure no one uses coal trains anymore.
As in coal-powered steam trains? There's a moderate number in tourist service around the world.
Diesel or electric trains carrying coal are still very common.
There's a coal train still in use in my hometown. It's a tourist thing, but still.
Steam locomotives are still used on tourist and heritage railways, just not in revenue service anymore. (An exception being a single railway in Bosnia that still uses WW2-era German steam locomotives.)
Hyce, who works at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden (which is a heritage railroad with restored steam locomotives) got to drive on of them while visiting family in Bosnia
There are uncommon instances of revenue freight being hauled by steam such as during a recent dispute between different agencies in Germany or the Everett railroad in Pennsylvania apparently does have some revenue service despite primarily being a tourist railroad and has on occasion used steam to switch out it's revenue customers
Or for a similar but entirely different example, the Iowa Traction Railroad uses almost exclusively century old electric locomotives all built in the 1910s and 1920s. You can see here one of their electric locomotives posing with a much newer locomotive:
I watch Hyce all the time! Glad to see another fan of him on here. Thank you for the vids you sent.
