The phone booth at McCoy tank was 4'x5' with a shed roof 6' high on one side 7' on the high side per the 1916 Valuation. The one at Styx trestle below Alder Spring was the same, as was Larch. I have not looked up others, but probably similar. They were located at most if not all of the sidings and water tanks. The small building track side in the lower left might be a phone booth. I see the phone line on the hill behind, but can't pick out wires coming down to it.
