The passenger service is sparse, particularly at the east end, but there is some loco haulage. Freight traffic is minimal and limited to pick-up workings.

This rural secondary line forms the main part of the secondary route from Presov to Humenne and had a good loco hauled passenger service in 2003. Despite an influx of 4-wheel railbuses, there were still a few loco hauled trains in 2011. The line runs through attractive countryside with some impressive viaducts.
