Here is another view of the train station from the right era. It was taken from the Mount on the water.
The tank has to be in the building, part of the station.
There is still no sign of wood verses coal for the Mount.
There are a few photos with other steamers that have cords or stacks of wood on different docks.

Here is the link to the super sized picture in PhotoPost

The tank on land could have been to service the trains in the station. Water would have been needed for the older steam trains, and diesel if they had diesel engines in the 30's there.
