I visited this line last spring. It enjoyed a service of ONE train daily in each direction, which was patronised by a mere handful of passengers. Freight on the line ceased years ago with the end of the sugarbeat traffic in the area. In the UK the route would never have survived as long as it did; it only lasted into the 21st century on the back of the massive EU subsidies which Ireland has enjoyed for years but which couldn't go on forever.
