The track all the way down to Republic Mine was rehabbed around 1995, used for a season or two hauling out a mine byproduct used in concrete manufacturing and hasn't seen any traffic beyond Humboldt Junction since then, other than the annual speeder excursion and a fire fighting special. I believe that Republic Mine shut down in 1978 and Humboldt Mine before that. Hard to picture now that this line was probably running at capacity when both mines were in their heyday.
