I've smelled some old school Bunker C that they found in a container and needed to dispose back in Skagway in 2017. It smelled just like sweet coal. Depending on the coal source it can vary in smell and the temperature it is burning, but most oil smoke on steam tends to be stickier and hangs in the air longer than coal smoke. The worst is diesel, because it gives me an instant headache now.
