Trains?
Indreams:
Get in one of the Galleon Balloons than. :P
But think, aircraft carrier that is a train and carries airships. Must be high up there on steampunk technology epitome.
Carn:
thats like the ferrari of steampunk, (you know what i mean, its fancy)
PixelatedVolume:
Deserts are hell on metal. It's possible that the airships have an advantage in the transportation business because they don't have to worry about maintaining GIGANTIC lengths of track in the middle of nowhere.
Also a train can't really fight well. It's stuck on tracks which limit movement and are easily sabotaged when someone isn't watching. I understand the idea of putting flak cannons or machine guns on a train to defend it (from those obnoxious airship bombers, perhaps) but a war-train for offense alone seems a little pointless.
Koali:
Yeah, freedom of movement is an airship's key advantage. And, airships are actually very fuel-efficient, as they don't need power to stay aloft, just lifting gas.

What about ground forces? And what if it was a mine train that lays it's own tracks?
