Initially, passenger and cargo traffic was developed on the road. Since the 1980s, only freight transport has been carried out on the narrow gauge railway.

In 1986-1990, a project was developed to reconstruct the railway with the possibility of altering it to a track of 1067 mm and then transferring it to the then Sakhalin branch of the Far Eastern Railway. However, with the collapse of the USSR, the project was closed ^[1] .

In December 2006, the narrow gauge railway was closed and sold for scrap. By 2007, the entire road and rolling stock were eliminated.
