Before the recent war, there were express trains to Mostar, Sarajevo and other places in what was then Yugoslavia. However, in June 1998, the service consisted of a single local stopping train, which ran inland, crossed the border into Bosnia-Herzegovina (no customs formalities – in fact no indication that an international border had been crossed) and finally stopped at a tiny village with the name of Zitomslici, where the engine reversed and the train returned to Ploce. Although the train was quite well used, I was the only tourist travelling on it.
In mid-September 1998, whilst I was on holiday in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, there was a special item on World News TV showing the first train from Ploce to enter Sarajevo for over seven years. So it appears that the line is now open all the way from Ploce to Sarajevo.
