Well, the current line so-called Jerusalem-Tel Aviv is actually two separate lines: Jerusalem-Beit Shemesh and Beit-Shemesh-Tel Aviv. As such, the former will continue to be used.

And yes, the current railway is very scenic as well as very slow. This is because it follows the exact path of the Ottoman rail-line that ran from Jaffa to Jerusalem and that was built at the late 19th century.
