It runs through the settlements of Dolenji Boštanj, Tržišče, Pijavice, Slovenska Vas, and Mirna.

The largest structure on the line is the 158-metre (518 ft) Sava River bridge at Sevnica, built in 1938.

The mine was closed in 1962 and the track removed in 1996, while the line from Sevnica to Trebnje through Tržišče has remained open.

Heavy rainfall on 4 August 2023 damaged the main line Ljubljana from Zidani Most in several places and made it impassable.

On the morning of 5 August, the only possibility to travel between the Slovenian capital Ljubljana and the second-largest city, Maribor, was this railway line and a subsequent rail replacement bus between Sevnica and Celje.
