The Luas light rail system in Dublin made a profit last year of ¤5.6m, according to the Railway Procurement Agency's annual report.
This is well up on the ¤200,000 surplus recorded in 2005.
The agency said the money would be reinvested in the Luas lines, which carried 26m passengers last year, up from 22m the previous year.
