WOOD SHED AND TANK.

At way stations the freight and passenger houses, wood and water station, may all be combined; the plan and size depending upon the location and importance of the station. The relative position of the tank, wood shed, and passenger house should be such that when the tender is at the proper place for receiving its supplies the centre of a passenger train of ordinary length shall be at the passenger door.
