In Popular Culture
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.
