The five pairs of trains daily needed just 40 to 45 minutes. In addition to the passenger trains there was a Tiertransportzug. Important source of income was the milk transport.

Various styles were used, so that the buildings are very varied at the track and have high architectural quality. Lena and Kraby are decorated in Art Nouveau style, while the train station in Skreia has more Chinese character.
