What is a "tender"?

A tender is a car or wagon attached to a steam locomotive that carries fuel and water needed for the engine. It is usually located behind the locomotive and contains a large supply of coal or other fuel, as well as water for producing steam. The tender ensures that the train has enough resources to keep running over long distances without needing to stop frequently for refueling. In addition to its role in supplying fuel and water, the tender also helps balance the weight of the locomotive, ensuring smooth and stable movement on the tracks.

Example

The tender held enough coal and water for the long journey.

She filled the tender with water from the station's water tower.
