Regular train service from Antananarivo to Antsirabe?
The Madarail website lists two options from Antananarivo to Antsirabe:
Both options seem to run for weddings and such events, according to the description.
Also, the French Wikivoyage says the line is closed, but I don't know how recent the information is.
Is there any regular train service that individuals can use, more economical than hiring a whole train for yourself?
Best Answer
No, there is only cargo rail service between from Antananarivo to Antsirabe.

Answer 2
As of August 2017, there are still no passenger train services from Antananarivo. (For a while, the vintage Micheline did run a tourist trip from Antananarivo at weekends, but it no longer operates any services.) Passenger trains in Madagascar run on at least one day per week on the following routes:
Moramanga to Toamasina (Tamatave)
Moramanga to Ambatondrazaka
Fianarantsoa to Manakara
Each of these journies takes between half a day and one day.
