the opening of Glan Valley Railway there was an increase in services on the Glan-Munchweiler–Altenglan section, since this also was now part of the route between Homburg and Bad Münster. Especially in the 1930s, the timetable included several routes that operated over sections of different lines, such as the Kaiserslautern–Lauterecken-Grumbach–Altenglan–Kusel route. Since the 1950s, there has been always at least ten pairs of trains each day between Landstuhl and Kusel. From the early 1950s, a so-called

Even before the opening of the railway, the municipality of Rammelsbach leased a quarry site to the Palatine Northern Railways Company on 1 January 1868, which supplied 200 wagons of cobblestones to Berlin using the line a year later. This train was the first operation over the line. As part of the nationalisation of the Palatinate Railway, it became a secondary operation of the Bavarian State Railway Administration. Even now, it is used by gravel trains. 1188: 1058:) in Altenglan was rebuilt in 1952 and it existed until 1977. A station was built at the community of Obermohr located between Niedermohr and Steinwenden in 1955. The Kusel–Türkismühle line was closed in the period 1955–1970, making Kusel a railhead again. A flood of the Kuselbach on 5 December 1965 closed operations between Altenglan and Kusel that evening and on the following day. Sunday services were abandoned on the line in 1975. 555: 612: 368: 586: 579: 950:, (“stone railway”) by analogy, because of its importance for the local quarries. In its first years of operation, the line had no passenger station in the municipality of Rammelsbach, located between Altenglan and Kusel, and accordingly only mixed trains (carrying freight and passengers) stopped in the town. The station was finally declared to be a normal passenger station in 1898. 692: 717: 648: 228: 641: 1295: 1071: 1030:. At the same time the route of the line between Altenglan and Rammelsbach was changed since the Rammelsbach tunnel had proved to be too narrow for freight trains. The new line instead ran around the Remigiusberg (hill). In 1937, the speed limit on the Altenglan-Kusel section was increased from 40 to 70 km/h. Responsibility for the line was transferred to the 667: 605: 509: 484: 458: 433: 393: 343: 320: 295: 275: 250: 203: 179: 860: 1006:. The line between Glan-Münchweiler and Altenglan, which would be shared with the line to Kusel, was duplicated in accordance with the requirements of the military. As part of this duplication, the systems of tracks at Glan Munchweiler and Altenglan stations were also upgraded. The latter was rebuilt as a “wedge station” ( 958: 1165:
Originally the chainages on the line were continuous. After the opening of the Glan Valley Railway, the existing chainage was only retained on the Landstuhl–Glan-Munchweiler section. The Glan-Munchweiler–Altenglan section was integrated in the Glan Valley Railway, with the chainage initially starting

In 1988, the stations of Ramstein and Steinwenden were reclassified as halts. A year later, the second track between Glan Munchweiler and Altenglan, which had become superfluous for operations, was dismantled, so that trains could only cross each other at Glan-Munchweiler and Altenglan stations. This

In 1882, the line was downgraded to the branch line. The chain barriers along the line were converted into turnpike barriers in 1888. The construction of signals at the stations was completed in 1899. Between Ramstein and Altenglan bells were used, with the intention of reducing the closing times at

At the opening of the Kusel–Landstuhl line, a class 1 B locomotive was used, although it was originally designed for hauling freight trains. Locomotives of class A 1 also ran over the line in the first years of operations. The latter were retired in the late 1870s, because they had been built in the

West of Landstuhl station, the line to Saarbrücken separates to the left and the line heads to the north. First, it crosses the Bruch country. From Ramstein the line follows the Mohrbach and runs to the west to Glan-Munchweiler. The line, which is now running through the North Palatine Uplands, then

Several quarries also existed in the immediate vicinity of Altenglan, so the local station also had an extensive infrastructure for transferring freight. Another quarry was in Theisbergstegen, which like Rammelsbach was the starting point for freight trains. From the 1990s, its importance declined

The Kusel–Landstuhl line always had significant passenger traffic. In 1868, it was operated with two mixed and two ordinary passenger trains. Thus, a train shuttled four times between Landstuhl and Kusel each day. The last train remained overnight. Services were extended gradually from 1900. With

In the last months of the war, a connecting curve was constructed between Rammelsbach and Bedesbach in the current location of Altenglan to the north of Altenglan station. This was established as a possible detour in conjunction with the line to Türkismühle in case the Nahe Valley Railway between

Since during the Second World War, the timetable could often not be met, a directory of “essential trains" was published in 1941. This included at least three trains between Landstuhl and Glan-Munchweiler, at least two trains between Glan Munchweiler and Altenglan and at least six and between

During the 1950s many other adjacent routes in the western North Palatine Uplands were shut down, but the Kusel–Landstuhl line remained open due to its high freight revenue, mainly as a result of the surrounding quarries. After passenger services were closed on the northern section of the

In contrast, freight played no major role at the stations between Landstuhl and Eisenbach-Matzenbach. In September 2011, a 2.4 kilometre-long siding was opened, branching off the route south of Ramstein and connecting a woodworking company.
