It's obvious the cars are wooden. The locomotive is clearly a 4-6-0 (common passenger power in the 1890s), and it’s burning coal, because it has a shotgun stack and an extended smokebox. It has Stephenson valve gear, and square steam chests housing D slide valves. The domes are “teapot” style, which first appeared in the early- to mid-1880s, and were in use through the early 1900s, but were most commonly associated with locomotives built in the 1890s. It’s doubtful the headlight’s electric. Even if it was, it probably wouldn’t be on, therefore no generator exhaust. However, I’ve never seen a generator on a locomotive with teapot domes, so I’m going with kerosene. And whoever thinks it’s warm all the time in the South in winter is nuts.
