I think the water was used for the section houses and the section men and even for some of the locals living near the line. From what I understand most trains would fill up at the tank at Bondad and then try and make it back up to Bondad without filling up in Farmington. I'm sure it made for some interesting stories and made a lot enginemen sweat bullets.
