If your talking about the spur on the north side of town, it hasn't been used since about 1990. It used to go into the lumber yard, but building the 101 freeway fixed that. Another spur was built on the other side of the freeway, but using it required loading a flatbed truck, driving under the freeway and transloading to a flatcar. The yard soon decided to skip the second step, and the loading facility on the E side of 101 hasn't been used since. Other than a new, 20 year old passenger station, which has never been used, I know of no other spurs in Cloverdale, and I go by the place on a semi-regular basis.
