history
The narrow-gauge railway was opened on March 1, 1915 under German occupation of what was then Russian territory as an army field railway with a gauge of 600 millimeters, after the First World War the line came to the newly created Poland. In 1954, the track was re-gauged to 750 millimeters. The route has been a listed building since 1996. On June 1, 2001, passenger traffic on the line was discontinued and resumed as a museum railway in 2002. The middle section between Jeżów and Rawa Mazowiecki was not used in 2016 due to its poor condition. In 2018 only the Rogów – Jeżów section will be served.
In 1922 the journey time was about four hours, and about two hours at the end of regular operation.
