History
The railway line was built in 1871 as part of the Liepaja-Kaišadore line, which was built by the Liepāja Railway Company. In 1877 the line became the property of the Liepāja-Romnu railway company, but from 1891 it was owned by the state. In 1998 a decision was taken to close the line. In 2012, the Liepāja-Priekule section was dismantled.
