Close
It runs along the long-distance Warsaw–Katowice line, extending the suburban tracks of the Warsaw Cross-City line westward. The line is dedicated for use by local traffic, however both lines are technically capable of carrying all types of trains, effectively forming a four track rail corridor running roughly East-West through the center of the Warsaw metropolitan area.
