There was also a connection with the Tramways de Corrèze (TC) at Saint Bonnet Avalouze. TC used POC tracks to reach Tulle.
The entire line was opened in 1904. It was closed to passengers on 3 November 1969 and to freight on 31 May 1970.
Steam traction was used throughout the duration of operation. Diesel traction appeared in the 1930s for passenger service in the form of autorails (railcars). Diesel locomotives arrived in 1962 to power the freight trains.
