Greenwood Publishing Group published The Ghosts of Duffy's Cut in July 2006, and a documentary on the story has been produced by Tile Films LTD of Dublin for broadcast on the Irish State Broadcaster RTÉ. Irish musician Christy Moore includes a song, written by Wally Page, called "Duffy's Cut," whose subject matter is the death of the workers on the railway. In March 2011, Celtic Punk band The Dropkick Murphys released a song called The Hardest Mile which also deals with the newly discovered evidence that some of the men may have been murdered rather than dying of cholera.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Parents’ ability to survive a child’s unabating needs, wants, and demands...varies enormously. Some people can give and give....Whether children are good or bad, brilliant or just about normal, enormously popular or born loners, they keep their cool and say just the right thing at all times...even when they are miserable themselves, inexhaustible springs of emotional energy, reserved just for children, keep flowing unabated.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“The genius of American culture and its integrity comes from fidelity to the light. Plain as day, we say. Happy as the day is long. Early to bed, early to rise. American virtues are daylight virtues: honesty, integrity, plain speech. We say yes when we mean yes and no when we mean no, and all else comes from the evil one. America presumes innocence and even the right to happiness.”
—Richard Rodriguez (b. 1944)
