Dan,
There have been some operations on this line. This spring there have been 2 different operations of motorcars on the line. There has been a lot of trackwork done too. There are places where the highway dept had dropped rocks on the tracks. Other places where there were washouts. It became passable in the last year or so after a lot of work from a number of volunteers.
The depot at Wagon Wheel Gap is indeed a private residence. It is a neat building and very nicely maintained inside and out. The next time the speeders will be out there is I believe over Labor Day. If interested in seeing something operate on the line. It is a very scenic trip.
There is also still a stub switch on the wye south of Crede.
