The railway is facing closure due to inactivity and an increased preference for private transport. Chile's last passenger metre gauge railway, the ramal runs through an area not served by other ground transportation. The Banco de Arena Railway Bridge over the Maule River, designed by architect Gustave Eiffel, was built from 1908 and 1915 by Schneider and Company. On May 25, 2007 the line was declared a national monument, a valued asset to the country which cannot be destroyed. It is included on the World Monuments Fund's 2018 list of monuments at risk, following damage from forest fires. (en)
