The P&SR depot in Sebastopol is now the West County Museum (was a florist shop for many years after the railroad quit using it) and periodically exhibits railroad-related material. Behind the building is a PFE reefer used to hold their archives. Just across the parking lot is the former powerhouse/substation which is now a bar/restaurant. Across from the high school on N. Main St. is the body of a "windsplitter" interurban car built into a house, but vegetation makes it hard to see. The Santa Rosa depot and freighthouse is now a Chevy's restaurant, across the street from the NWP depot. Up on the Russian River, at the town of Duncan's Mills, are two P&SR boxcars along with the NWP depot and cars. 44-tonner number 1 (the only one P&SR bought new) may still exist in the Purdy scrapyard in Mojave, but if so is heavily canniballized.
