It's still shown on Quail as far as Denby and you can see it diverging away from the main line as you travel just north of Derby.

However it is so overgrown that it would be difficult to spot it on Google Earth. Look for level crossings, and on Streetview.

I believe the original Ripley station was in a cutting which has been filled in however. I guess it would have to terminate at Marehay.

North of the station the trackbed I believe is a footpath.

This is how it used to run:
