NWP here and there

I traveled from Sacramento to Santa Rosa on Thanksgiving, and spotted a few things hither and yon. For instance, what's left of Schellville - the green depot, a GP9 adorned with a bit of graffiti, and an SP caboose. Also the trackage in Santa Rosa (which looked grassy but useable), and the tracks in Petaluma. They looked pretty good, but the crossing signals were missing arms, lights, etc. Also, the tracks east of Novato paralleling Highway 37 seemed to be in good shape, but "seemed" is the operative word.
Word from a different discussion board is that the tracks near Schellville are good only for gathering rust. When was the last time a freight train rolled through there? And just out of curiosity, what was the alignment with the two sets of tracks crossing the highway near the depot?
Thanks . . .
