Today
The only remnants of the terminus are the goods shed and loading bank. For much of its length the formation is marked by fences and rows of trees.
The former railway formation between Cotter Street, Greytown and Woodside is being developed as a walkway and cycleway, mainly for recreational use, but also for the benefit of commuters accessing rail services at Woodside Railway Station. This was possible, in part, because the route has "paper road" status. A group of local residents advocating the idea submitted a proposal to the Greytown Community Board which was subsequently approved after landowners along the route consented to the use of their land for the project. The trail is being built using volunteer labour, with the first stage opening on 6 November 2011 and having secured funding of $30,000 towards the completion of the second stage, it is expected to open on 3 February 2013 completing the Greytown – Woodside link.
