Since the reconstruction, there have been six tracks arranged as the Oerlikon–Glattbrugg and Oerlikon–Opfikon–Riet double-track lines (with separately managed tracks) as well as the new double-track airport line between Oerlikon and the Dorfnest passing loop at

Most sidings were removed in the 1980s and since then train crossings on the single-track line can only be made at Dielsdorf. The line is served by regional traffic and, since 27 May 1990, only by

In the initial phase, it was considered whether to operate the shorter branch line from Oberglatt to Dielsdorf with horse-hauled trains, while the Oberglatt to Bülach line would be operated by steam.
