This 750mm gauge line opened as recently as 1950, from a standard gauge connection at Starachowice to Ilza. In 1989 it was recorded as being 20km long and carried 61,988 tons of freight; the passenger service had already ceased.
The line has now closed completely, and in 1998 there was no evidence of any rolling stock, although the track was still in place. There may have been some items in the shed.
