Here you go, Keith, a perfectly efficient water and coal station on the South Park -- Grant, early 1880s:

The tank and coal bin are in the distance at the east end of the little yard. The wye was located just behind the little pond over the depot (center, 3 chimneys) and isn't clearly visible, perhaps it hasn't been installed yet.
In a typical Union Pacific management decision, the facilities here were deemed too efficient and were removed in 1893 or 1894, according to Derrell's article in the 2006 CNGQ. Derrell also speculated that an engine house might also have been located here, but I can't make one out.
