Not much of that line is still existing. I've mountain biked on part of 
the old right of way, and most of the tracks are gone until you get down 
to Roaring Camp. During WWII many of the tunnels were blown up during 
WWII when it was feared the Japanese would land in Santa Cruz and use 
the tunnels as bunkers..
