You're right, I forgot, Steam engine refers to the engine or the pistons, not necessary the steam creation. Does steam locomotive mean an engine with a boiler and firebox?

WHAT?? Of course they're steam engines. The machinery runs on steam, and is operated exactly like any other steam engine. The only difference is that the locomotive does not create its own steam.
