limeworks came on 31 July 1959; despite local protests to keep the line open, the final train departed Ngapara behind AB 783. This class and the A were the mainstay of motive power on the branch for its final 25 years. The branch was truncated to Cormacks from August 1959 and was known as Taylor's Siding after the business it served, Taylor's Limeworks. In the 1990s the branch was renamed the Waiareka Industrial Line. The lime works continued to provide traffic until 1997, with shunt services from Oamaru usually hauled by a DSC class shutning locomotive. The siding closed in late 1997, and the track was lifted in 1999. Today Traces of the Ngapara and Tokarahi Branches survive remarkably well. The old formation is often very distinct: rails are still embedded into the road surface at Weston, the Enfield station building and goods shed have been moved into a paddock and are in good repair, Corriedale yard is well preserved with the 11-mile peg still in place, and both Tokarahi branch tunnels survive, on private land. In Tokarahi very little remains of the terminus, but in Ngapara some rails remain embedded in tar seal where the backshunt crossed the highway, the loading bank and platform edge survive, and the old station sign is affixed to the local rugby club's rooms. The old flour mill that once provided traffic for the railway is also still present in the town. Since 2008 there has been an annual "Over The Tunnels" recreational run/ride of the Tokarahi Branch organised by Waitaki Girls High School. The event consists of a half marathon and a cycle ride along the route of the line. The events have attracted hundreds of participants. Alps to Ocean Cycle Trail The final section of the Alps to Ocean cycle trail (from Duntroon to Oamaru) follows these two branchlines in places. The cycle trail follows beside the Karara Creek and intersects the Tokarahi - Windsor line at a point approx 4km from Tokarahi, and 1km from the Tokarahi-Ngapara Road. Trail, creek and railway formation run roughly parallel for a kilometre before creek and trail diverge, although the formation can be observed for most of the next kilometre. Approximately 5km further the trail drops down Tunnel Road to the western portal of the Rakis Tunnel and follows (mostly on) the formation for six or seven kilometres to a point about 1.5km short of
