Zustimmung  writeaway: in idiomatic English. some things we simply know as native speakers. 100% literal doesn't always work and comparing grammar doesn't make much sense.
14 Min.
  -> Thanks, writeaway
Neutraler Kommentar  Regina Eichstaedter: das entspricht dem "Schaufeln" der deutschen Muttersprachler ;-) "nachlegen" kann man auch daheim am Herd. Es geht um eine Lok, aber es wurde nach einem Verb gefragt, das auch ohne "coal" verwendet werden kann
28 Min.
  -> Ja, aber hier geht es eben um eine Lok. / Diese Einschränkung kam leider erst später, sonst hättest Du Dir sicherlich auch Deinen Vorschlag gespart.
Neutraler Kommentar  Michael Martin, MA: The only problem is that your solution requires an indirect object (which you haven't included) but the German doesn't.
31 Min.
  -> Since when does one have to use exactly the same words?
Zustimmung  Mike Roebuck: Agree. Firebox is the correct term for a steam locomotive (NOT furnace) and the fireman uses a shovel to feed it with coal. So here: the fireman shovelled more coal into the firebox of the steam locomotive.

Zustimmung  Herbmione Granger: Yes, need to add more to make it proper, idiomatic English. This is perfect for the example given.

Im Deutschen ist "nachlegen" auch nicht spezifisch für Kohle, es könnten auch Holzscheiten oder Pellets sein - im Englischen vielleicht einfach fuel oder reload? https://www.quora.com/How-frequently-did-steam-locomotives-h...

Compare with this:

"Though the stoker threw on more coal, the engineer lost his air brakes at the seventy-five-foot-high Stillhouse Trestle near Danville.." https://books.google.com/books?id=cWozAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA70&lpg=P...

If you don‘t want to keep memtioning coal, just say „Throw on more!“
