In the 1970's the remains of telecom poles that followed the C&S roadbed could be found at various points in the canyon. Some were sawed off a few feet above the ground, and the poles fell over in bushes and by 1979 were buried in years of fallen leaves. Each held six or so glass insulators. Were these part of the railroad, and were they for telephones or telegraph? These areas were soon flooded by the Strontia Springs reservoir.
