Length: 235 km

Before the war, this line was completely electrified. Now, the electrified segments are Visoko - Zavidovići, and Doboj - Šamac.
There are freight trains in operation on the whole line. Passenger trains along this line are Sarajevo-Visoko; Sarajevo-Visoko-Kakanj; Visoko-Zenica; Zenica-Zavidovići; (these are operated by ŽBH); Maglaj-Doboj (operated by ŽRS); and Doboj-Šamac (operated by ŽRS). Since May 2001 the international train Sarajevo-Zagreb runs along the Sarajevo-Doboj section of this line.

Before the war, this line is connected to the line Slavonski Šamac - Strizivojna in Croatia via the bridge between Šamac and Slavonski Šamac. This bridge was destroyed during the war, but has since been rebuilt, but has not yet been opened to rail traffic.

Dobrljin - Ravnice - Novi Grad - Rudice - Blatna - Bosanska Otoka - Drenova - Glavica - Bosanska Krupa - Grmuša - Cazin-Srbljani - Bihać - Ripač - Račić - (Loskun HŽ - Strbački Buk HŽ - Kestenovac HŽ) - Bušević ŽBH - Kulen Vakuf ŽBH - Palučći ŽBH - (Martin Brod HŽ) - Una ŽBH - (Begluci HŽ) - Bosanski Osredci-Srb ŽBH - (Osredci HŽ - Ličko Dugo Polje HŽ - Lička Kaldrma HŽ)

Length: 140 km (up to Martin Brod)

This line was completely electrified before the war, but now is electrified only on the Dobrljin-Blatna segment. The section from Dobrljin to Bosanska Otoka (not including this place) is in Republika Srpska, and from here to Račić is in the Federation. The segment from Račić to Lička Kaldrma (in Croatia) is very problematic, because this line crosses the Bosnia-Croatia border about 10 times. According to preliminary agreements, the border station will be Martin Brod (the town of Martin Brod is in Bosnia, but its railway station is in Croatia!). This line continues from Lička Kaldrma on to Split via Knin and Drniš. The other end, Dobrljin, extends to Voljina in Croatia, whence it continues to Zagreb. The boundary stations are Voljina HŽ and Dobrjin ŽRS.

Freight trains are in service along the whole line, while passenger services are restricted to Dobrljin-Novi Grad (6 return trips daily) and Novi Grad-Blatna (1 return daily) operated by ŽRS and a Blatna-Bihać (1 return daily) operated by ŽBH. ŽBH also operates a Bihać-Martin Brod train, but the frequency is not known. It is planned to introduce a Zagreb-Bihać-Knin international train along this line; a test train has been run, pulled by a HŽ 2061.
