Here is another angle. Ed, good guess on the slit.
Mike, I'll PM the plans to you and maybe you can blow them up then. It holds 40,000 Imp Gals.

Is that shed the pump house? and is the well is inside? Those plans are interesting. I liked to see the rest of it.
And if it is a well house, is the plumbing to the tank underground? After all, these wood structures were built around the tank for heat, right?, and if some of the plumbing was above ground, that slit could have been where the piping went through?
Mike.
EDIT: I can't enlarge Brent's picture, as it ask me to join ImgBB first.

BATMANWhy is it a slit and not just a regular window, any reason?
Well, this comes to mind...
It sure would make it easy to shove a ladder through there and up into the rafters? There's times when I'm trying to put a ladder away in my "tool shed" when I could sure use a door/window like that.
Humm...

Ask and ye will receive. FB pages are a gold mine. Apparently, the answer is yes there was a walkway around the tank. Plans provided.
Good questions, I asked over at the Canadian Pacific FB page about the inside of these things. Wouldn't be surprised if we get pics and/or plans as they are a wealth of info.
Ventillation? IDK!
Why is there a window in the water tank up where the tank would be? Did enclosed water tanks have a walkway around the tank between it and the outer structure?

There is a slit window in the shed next to the water tower. Why is it a slit and not just a regular window, any reason? Looks like an arrowslit in a castle.
