Apart from most of the route of this unique little line, built by John Taylor to mainly serve his great copper mines along its course (with the odd run of stone sleeper blocks still in evidence) there remains, tucked away in Carharrack village through which it passed, a little footbridge over the former formation. Now a Grade II listed structure, this fairly unimposing small relic has recently been refurbished by the local council.
