But I'm not sure of the route it takes. Maybe you can check once you are in Amman from the tourism desk at the hotel you are staying at. Yes they are still possible.

Will there be any other rail options --- I don't really care if they are quite short ---during a proposed visit between April 7 and 11, 2006?

I think it's sad how it's facing quite demise. I agree that it's not the most practical travelling option, but still, it's such a rich part of history that it ought to be turned to a national heritage object or something.
