The coaling facility at Atkins in the decade of the 1900s at least was
a parallel side track Coal Wharf just east of the Atkins station. The
water tank was between the two, with the station on the north side of
the tracks and the water tank and coaling station on the south side.

Information from archives drawings HS-K10038, HS-CC10832 and HS-C10883.
Links to the three in order:

However, a 1917 list of Coaling Stations does not show anything at Atkins.

HS-C10883 (undated) also appears to show a small turntable at Atkins but
it does not appear in HS-K10038 (dated 1903, revised 1909).
