Much of the surviving grade is on fills with lava rock retaining walls like this. I'm pretty sure these had been trestles for much of the railroad's life
Looking along one fill into a cut
Grade continuing north from Kapa'a Park Road
A fence crosses the grade in the trees, marking the end of the publicly accessible part of the grade.
