From the photos Chris posted, it appears that there were no changes made to "correct" the issue. .

on further viewing, in the cold hard light of day,  I notice that there must have been a relocation of the pipe after this incident if you compare the drawing location with the 2nd picture showing the "switchbacking" train.  The pipework is now supported on the Eagle Mill side by a pole, located up on the Team roadway left of a cribbing between the roadway and the tracks.  The other part of the offending pipework descends into the centre of the small building opposite.  They must have moved the pole.  Further photo's at this location are in the the Sundance Gilpin Railroad Era book.
