The Velocipede is just another way of saying bicycle. 

The steam ship was powered exactly that, steam and coal.

The railroad used coal.

I believe it is that automobile. Seeing as Karl Benz created the first vehicle of it's type in 1886. It used an internal combustion engine. Therefore, it was powered by gasoline.
