Basically,
iterator objects contain member variables that hold
pointers to link objects. In the following diagram, for example, an
iterator object has a pointer that happens, at the moment shown, to
point to the second link in a railroad-car list:
*-------* A header object

*-------* Pointer happens

| second link *-------* Iterator object
