I think you may be onto something, Chris.

If the depot is 24 foot wide, the gabled extension in the back would look to be about 14 foot long, so it may well be the Road Masters Office.  It would make sense to be attached to the depot as well.

I think the small building to the west of the depot is the privy, window or no, due to its close proximity to the front of the depot, for the convenience of passengers. Since it was front and center, so to speak, it was likely painted to match the depot.

I can't quite buy the shed under the trestle ramp as the sand house, though.  John's facility list of 1898 lists the sand house as present, but in the c1910 view from the south that I posted, nothing is visible under the trestle, so it seems to be a later addition:




Nor is it visible in this late teens, early twenties view:




Thanks for taking the time to think this through with me.
