Yes, part of the line from Marcilly-sur-Tille to Châtillon-sur-Seine. Opened in 1882, closed for passengers in 1969 and for goods in 1980.

You cannot keep a line open without passengers or freight.

If you don't use a railway, it deteriorates quickly, it will require rebuilding if you want to use it again, even if the tracks are still there. As long as the railway bed isn't built upon if the need arrises, but I don't think congested roads are a problem in this area of France.

In the Netherlands a new freight railway was built from the harbour of Rotterdam to Germany (only the Germans have to build the connecting line) and there is investment in the canals. These rural lines are difficult though, not enough passengers or freight to make them work. It did work in the olden days, because either there was no alternative or the alternatives were slow.

Some of the rural and smaller lines in the Netherlands have been converted into light rail or metro lines, so it is cheaper to run them.
