In the above section of the line, local trains and sub-express trains were operated until the abolishment, and local trains stopped at each station before arriving at Shinomiya Station (the terminal), while sub-express trains passed through the stations that lay between Keishin-Sanjo and Misasagi Station and stopped at each station from Misasagi Station to Hamaotsu Station (the terminal) (refer to the column on the manner of operation until October 11, 1997).
上記区間では廃止直前時点で普通列車と準急が運行されており、普通列車は終着駅の四宮駅まで各駅に停車し、準急は京津三条～御陵間の各駅を通過し御陵駅から終着駅の浜大津駅までの各駅に停車する運行形態を採っていた（1997年10月11日までの運行形態の項も参照のこと）。
