With this railway line, the Osijek – Baranja County and the Vukovar – Srijem County have got better connectivity and convenient alternative to road transport, offering the shortest and cost effective connection between the regional centers Osijek and Vinkovci. Complete replacement of the track on the line was made in a total length of 11,530 km, which includes extending from the trunk line, laying the buffer protection and geosynthetic layer.

The line is capable of speeds of 80 km/h and traffic trains with weight of 225 kN per axle and 80 kN/m, in a total length of 33,339 m.
