The Feather River Route is still in use for freight; however, anyone wishing to see this portion of the original route must now use State Route 70 which runs parallel to the old Western Pacific track.
Jernbanen anvendes stadig af godstog; men alle der nu ønsker at se denne del af den oprindelige strækning, er nødt til at anvende Californiens State Route 70, der løber parallelt med Western Pacifics gamle jernbane.
