  Well unless there is some kind of new electric/steam hybrid train that I’ve not heard of, there will be no steam because it’s an electric train.

  A trick question! How sneaky! There is no steam from an electric train, only from steam trains. 😉

  Even though the train is travelling 100mph steam (from a passenger’s cup of coffee inside the train!) would seem to rise mostly upwards but, relative to the Earth, the steam would be moving 100mph in the same direction of the train!
