It was built and operated by Łódzkie Wąskotorowe Elektryczne Koleje Dojazdowe (Łódź Narrow-gauge Electric Commuter Railways).

The line was technically compatible with the Łódź trams network (same gauge and electrification system), allowing interrunning, but the two were not connected, passengers had to change at interchange stops located near the city limits.

[1] In the early 1970s the last suburban motor coaches were withdrawn from service, since then the line was worked by the tramcars also used on the city network.

[2] Political and economic changes after 1989 meant that a new approach to financing and running the public communication was necessary.

Part of the line to Ozorków within the city boundaries may also be rebuilt, and a new terminus in the northern suburb, Proboszczewice, may be built.
