¿Cuál sería el equivalente en inglés para este término? Por lo que sé así se llaman esos grifos altos que sirven para llenar los camiones cisterna?
No tengo mayor contexto, el término aparece mencionado en un cronograma bajo la sección "Obras Preliminares"

water crane / water column
Medium confidence level because this relates to steam train tanks, but still, it might work...
A water crane is a device used for delivering a large volume of water into the tank or tender of a steam locomotive.[1][2][3] The device is sometimes also called a water column in the United States.[4] As a steam locomotive consumes large quantities of water, water cranes were a vital part of railway station equipment, often situated at the end of a platform, so that water could be refilled during a stop at the station.

There's a couple of photos on that Wikipedia link too.
