A six-kilometer section at the western end from Grafing station to the town of Ebersberg is electrified as part of line S 4 of the Munich S-Bahn. It is also, along with the rest of the line to Wasserburg (Inn) Bahnhof (the name of the village where the station—Bahnhof in German—is located, which is outside the town of Wasserburg), served by regional services of the SüdostBayernBahn. The 4.4 km long link from Wasserburg (Inn) Bahnhof to Wasserburg (Inn) Stadt (town) has been out of service since 2 March 1987.

The rail infrastructure of the Grafing–Ebersberg section is owned and maintained by DB Netz. The following section to Wasserburg is owned by SüdostBayernBahn. The town of Wasserburg owns the infrastructure from Wasserburg station to Wasserburg town.
