Question

What connects trains with naval history?

Short answer

Logistics and engines.

Notes

The deliberately concise answer is logistics and engines. Railways and navies both depended on moving and supplying large forces, as well as on the machinery that made their transport systems work. The exchange does not develop a case study or claim a closer institutional relationship.
