ELECTRIC RAILCARS
Electric trains, utilizing magnetic turbines draw electrical energy from live cables above the street. They are a very popular method of public transportation in most large cities that can support the infrastructure.
STEAM ENGINES / TRAINS
For long distance travel, people rely on steam engines, but these are not the standard trains known by the 19th Century, they dwarf anything ever made. The steam trains are like moving fortresses with defences to thwart the attacks of a their hostile world. Passenger cars have two levels, some even having a third observatory level. There are barracks cars for guards and sentries and marshals are always patrolling to maintain passenger safety.
In the even of an attack, windows are sealed with protective coverings as the entire train goes into lock-down. Steam pressure cannons and magnetic guns are armed as the soldiers mobilize for defence.
Every train, aside from the standard staff of an engineer, conductor, what-have-you also has a security force of peace-keeping constables and a defensive force of soldiers all under the management of an officer called the 'watch-keeper'. Trains after all, are like a moving community and can require policing as well as protection.

AUTOMOBILES
Steam-powered vehicles require larger frames than combustion vehicles. The boiler tank and furnace is commonly in the back. In most vehicles the coal and the water supply will last for approximately three hours before a refill is required. For most vehicles the boiler tank takes half of an hour to reach optimal temperature.
A larger boiler will obviously have a longer life. Cargo trucks can usually last for four to five hours but locomotives will always have the longest life and therefor the most efficient method for hauling freight.
STEAM POWERED ELECTRIC DRIVES
Steam driven electrical generators powering electric motors are also popular. This produces bulkier vehicles that are more susceptible to the affects of magic and therefor not as popular. They have more moving parts, need more maintenance and tend to break down more often. While they can be more efficient and are definitely the 'cleaner' of the two, the more popular steam powered industry battles tooth and nail against magnetism.
AIR SHIPS
There are many variations of Zeppelins. Some, carry beneath them boat-like carriers that can land and float on water, others may appear more modern and are solely for passengers (though they will still have defences). Steam generators produce electricity to drive electric propellors.
Air Ships do not dominate travel. While they do provide safety from threats on the ground, there are many in the air as well, and more people tend to prefer to take their chances with their feet on the ground.
STEAM SHIPS
There are basically three categories. Battleships are armoured and completely steam driven. Paddle Boats, also steam driven and designed for traveling down rivers. The last, the Long Range Steam Ships use both Sail and Stream to cross vast bodies of water.
WAR MACHINES & CONSTRUCTION
Archaic tanks exist as do diggers, cranes, stream rollers and such.
