I went to Dan Edward's Documentary History of the South Park, V5, and there I found it.
On page 87 he talks to what was at each station on the line. At Horseshoe (MP 121.79, approx MP 8 on the 1918 ICC map) a water tank was constructed in 1896.
Page 61: Sept 22, 1897 Bill collectable from DL&G for cost of labor on New Tank at Horseshoe during August 1897 $40.40.
Page 63: From the accounts of Trumbull of construction advances made by the Receiver for construction there is a listing for water tank at Horseshoe of $730.04 (from a C&S ledger of 1928).
There is no mention of the tank being pulled down or moved in Edward's book but it is not present on the 1918 ICC map. Operations on the branch ended Nov, 1922.
For reference, here's the ICC map of Horseshoe, located 3 miles before the end of the branch at Leavick:
