Due to the new political divisions of Europe and the dissolution of Austria-Hungary, the railway decreased in importance more and more until the end of the 20th century. However, the entry of Slovenia in the European Union has resulted in new perspectives for the railway as a convenient passenger and goods route from Central and Eastern Europe to the port of Trieste.
Distinctive features of the railway are the 6,339 metre-long Bohinj Tunnel under the 1,498 metre-tall Kobla Mountain, and the Solkan Bridge with its 85 metre wide arch over the Soča River.
