The stretch between Deodoro and Realengo attends the large military complex located in the region.

It connects the city's downtown to the extreme West Side of the capital, 54 kilometres (34 mi) away, in an average speed of 40 km/h (25 mph).

It has integration with bus lines from the city in Méier, Cascadura, Madureira, Marechal Hermes and Deodoro stations, exclusively using RioCard.

From Central do Brasil towards Deodoro, there are bus lines with integration to Catumbi and Rio Comprido neighbourhoods.

This decision was taken by SuperVia to reduce trains stops caused by signalling of Deodoro, Santa Cruz and Japeri lines.
