Loren: there would ceratainly be a water tower at or near the end of the branch, as well as a number all along. Probably a small coaling facility. Back about 1957-8 Model Railroader had an article on a Branchline Bucket Coaling Station -- a crane with buckets and coal storage. I think it's been reprinted in one of their books.
Depending on traffic flow, you might keep a loco at the end of the branch overnight so that the morning trip was inbound, possibly with a small passenger component.
