The rails and wagons were probably sold to Charles W. Scofield, the owner of the Bingham Canyon Railroad, the Camp Floyd Railroad and the Wasatch & Jordan Valley Railroad, who used them in August 1878 for the construction of the Utah & Pleasant Valley Railroad. The Deseret Evening News commented on the removal of the route by erroneously predicting on June 5, 1878, that the canyon "... is not likely to be visited in future, to any extent, by tourists." However, this prediction has not come true due to the increasing car tourism.
