There is a description of operating the route in its later years in "Derby Trainman: 1990-94" by T. J. Helme.
A history of the line called "Rails to Ripley" by Howard Sprenger (who is/was a leading light at the EVR) has just been published.
You can see many of the crossings on Streetview.

Both books highly recommended. Howard is still involved with the EVR, although he no longer lives in the area.
