They did, at least in Israel. The Jerusalem-Beit Shemesh route was restored and it is a beautiful commute.

  I found a video of its stunning beauty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_urfQTLk_g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_urfQTLk_g The author says that the line closed in March 2020, but maybe it has since been reopened?

    We have the same alias :O Anyway, live close by. The train station at Malha was closed 2020 because of COVID because it was a scenic/tourist route. There was discussion of shutting it down permanently but it didn't happen. I used to take it every week for a coding-teaching gig 5 years ago. It will likely either reopen when tourism reaches a pre-covid level in a year or two or will be converted to a light-rail station.

      Wow, never before have I met anyone with the same nick online. I have been carrying the Elvish name around since approx. 1995, when I was a young Tolkien fanboy. This railway is on my visit list. I hope that tourism recovers enough for it to reopen.

        Got mine from a Tolkien name generator around 2000 to create an online alias (after reading and liking a few books) and used it since. Used to have inglor.com and still have the gmail. If you look hard enough you will find my contributions in early-mid newgrounds (inglor day, zombie inglor, the inglor dance and 10k bbs posts :)) Anyway - good taste and nice to meet
