It also had track connections with two other metre gauge rural lines, the Wetzikon-Meilen-Bahn (WMB), at Langholz [de], and the Forchbahn (FB), at Esslingen.

Through the FB, the WMB had an indirect metre gauge connection to the Zürich city tram network.

It had a length of 10.5 kilometres (6.5 mi), with 18 stops, a maximum gradient of 7% and a minimum radius of 30 metres (98 ft).

It survived until 10 January 1949, when it was replaced by a bus service operated by the Verkehrsbetriebe Zürichsee und Oberland (VZO).

[1][3] The line's headquarters and workshops were located near Uster, with an additional depot at Langholz.
