This was part of the Southern Pacific Walnut Grove Branch See entries for Sacramento to Walnut Grove and Sacramento to Isleton for more information.

I've heard that this route is due for rebuilding for the Sacramento Southern Railroad's tourist operation, which is operated by the California State Railroad Museum.

You have heard correct Andy but, their MOW crew has a focus on the current ROW that is in operation now and would need a significan influx of cash to upgrade a larger portion of the line.
