Yes. Improvements have been made with realignment of parts of the route, but the Central Pacific Railroad is now part of the Union Pacific which still takes rail traffic from the east from Omaha, Nebraska through Ogden, Utah to Sacramento, California and beyond.
For details, see the HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD and three frequently asked questions relating to the current status.
