After the First World War lost for Austria-Hungary , the line came to the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD).

During the Second World War , the route lay entirely in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia . The operators were now the Protectorate Railways Bohemia and Moravia (ČMD-BMB). On May 9, 1945, the entire line came back to the ČSD.

On January 1, 1993, the line was transferred to the newly founded České dráhy (ČD) in the course of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia . Since 2003 it has been part of the network of the state infrastructure operator Správa železniční dopravní cesty (SŽDC).

In the early 1990s, the line was equipped with an electric contact line. The scheduled electric rail operation began on May 28, 1994.

In the 2012 timetable, a total of eight pairs of passenger trains run on working days and six on Sundays and public holidays. An express train runs between Horní Cerekev and Protivín .
