The line is double-tracked throughout and electrified with three kilovolt DC voltage.

For passenger trains, the maximum speed up to kilometer point 68.100 at Kluczbork is one hundred and twenty kilometers per hour, then up to kilometer point 70.600 hundred, up to kilometer point 117.780 depending on the platform fifty and seventy, up to kilometer point 132.700 fifty and seventy, up to kilometer point 133.580 fifty and eighty , up to kilometer point 134.700 eighty, up to kilometer point 159.700 one hundred to one hundred and ten, on the rest to Wrocław Mikołajów less. Freight trains are allowed to travel up to the kilometer point 70.600 one hundred kilometers per hour, up to the kilometer point 117.780 depending on the track forty and fifty, up to the kilometer point 132.700 generally fifty, up to the kilometer point 136.200 fifty and sixty, up to the kilometer point 159.700 generally sixty, then fifty and sixty.

history

The rights Or Shore Railway opened on May 28, 1868 the first section of the main track, Wroclaw - Oels . The continuation to Kreuzburg was opened on November 15th of the same year. A few years later, on July 1, 1883, the continuation to Rosenberg was opened. The section to Lublinitz followed on May 20, 1884 , the last section was opened on November 15 of that year. In the following years the railway was nationalized and double-tracked.

Steel hammer was of little importance; nor was it a branch station, as the coal main line , today's Chorzów – Tczew railway line in the north, had not yet been built. So all trains went beyond Stahlhammer at least to Tarnowitz .

The 1914 summer timetable provided for seven continuous pairs of trains, including a pair of express trains that only stopped at Breslau Hbf, Breslau-Odertor, Oels, Namslau , Kreuzburg, Rosenberg and Lublinitz. He also planned trains from Breslau, which branched off in Oels on the Oels – Konitz railway line. Otherwise a few local trains were planned on different sections.

After the First World War , the route lost its importance as the German-Polish border ran between Lublinitz and Cziasnau . The line has been completely Polish since the end of the Second World War and has been completely electrified since September 11, 1972. The second track, which was partially dismantled after the Second World War, is also continuously available again.

In long-distance traffic, the line is still operated between Stahlhammer (where the trains do not stop, however) and Kreuzburg and between the branch behind Oels and Breslau .
