Stunning photos. I do hope at least some of this heritage is preserved. Remarkable!

Very cool. Is there a website that tells the history of this line? Could the line still be used today?

This is the Wiki entry for the line.

Part of the line is used for stock exchanges and as a diversion but the line is not heavily used.
