Steam-powered vehicles need a lot of water to create steam, so they carry it onboard. Some locomotives are comprised of two units, with the first one carrying a large boiler, and the second, called the tender, carrying a water tank reserve. Others have both the boiler and the tank on a single unit. The single unit locomotives are called tank locomotives, and are usually small and made for shunting, or short travel distances.
Water from the storage is supplied to the boiler by a device called the injector.
If the water storage runs dry it needs to be refilled.
