I have read that the C&S abandoned the Trout Creek portion of the original mainline in 1922, accessing the Chalk Creek part of the old main via DR&G through Leadville after that. Were rails pulled, and to what point? Fairplay to Nathrop? Were there any revenue sources west of Garos to keep rails for?
