Steam locomotives run according to a technical process in which water is heated to steam in a boiler. Steam has more than a thousand times the volume of water, but cannot leave the closed boiler, creating enormous pressure. This pressurized steam is fed to the cylinders at the right moment, allowing them to rotate and the train to start moving.

Locomotives could refuel with this water pump. The municipal council of Sint-Gillis-Waas received the water pump on loan from the NMBS holding for the expansion of KLINGSPOOR.
