Early steam trains needed a lot of support things around the trainstations (compared to current ones) to keep them running. Aside classic depots and repair stations which you can still see on the trainstations today, they also needed coal (so stations included coal stores) and water. Because of that, water tanks were common part of stations too. You can still see some of them standing around tracks today here. This Boheminium model depicts how station of Podmokly (now Děčín) looked like in the end of 19th century. The water tower is no longer there, but it had capacity of 150 m, which was more than enough for 10 middle-sized locomotives.
