The BME began construction of its new line from the site of the current Gruiten station. Today the route separates from the line from Wuppertal nearly two kilometres earlier at Linden junction. The first section ran due south through Ohligs Wald (later Ohligs and Solingen-Ohlings, and now Solingen Hauptbahnhof) to Opladen and was opened on 25 September 1867.
On 8 April 1868 the line was opened to Mülheim (Rhein) BME station[2] just to the east of the existing Mülheim (Rhein) CME station in Wiener Platz. The line formerly ran straight through the centre of Mülheim on a route almost identical with the current course of line 4 of the Cologne Stadtbahn.
The BME subsequently extended its track across the CME track and ran down the bank of the Rhine to a new terminus at Deutz BME station, north of Deutz CME station opened for passenger traffic on 1 February 1872. In 1909 the line in the Mülheim area was moved east because of the risk of flooding and lack of space in central Mülheim to a route running through the new Köln-Mülheim station, built on the site of the RHE's Mülheim (Rhein) station.
The line is served every hour by Intercity Express line 10, connecting Cologne and Berlin via Hamm, Hanover, stopping at Wuppertal. Additional InterCity trains also operate between Cologne and Hamm on IC lines 31 and 55 every 2 hours.
