No.

Most has been ripped up.

There was talk of a tourist train called "The Highlander" but it never
eventuated full time. One journey to the then end of the line (the name of
which escapes me) was conducted.

When nickel was discovered at Greenvale, it was known that the mine would
only yield a ten year supply. As I understand it, the entire township was
made up of demountables. Once the mine ran out, the demountables were
removed, as was the track, and Greenvale disappeared off the map.

Darryl or John Mac may wish to comment.
