Before the Neisse Kreisbahn AG company was founded, the plans for the railway existed in May 1901, which was planned to build a railway to improve the shipment of goods and agricultural products from nearby rich villages.^[3] The railway was planned to have Neunz (Niwnica) station and Schweinsdorf (Piorunkowice) loading track, however due to the far range from both of the villages, the loading track and the station were never built.^[4]

The Prussian State, the district of Neisse as well as other municipalities and interested parties, and Lenz & Co. GmbH company, founded Neisser Kreisbahn AG company on 20 April 1910, as with the plans for the construction of the railway, the Neisse–Steinau railway opened on 5 December 1911, built by Lenz & Co.^[1]

The railway was planned to be extended to Zülz (Biała) on the Gogolin–Neustadt (Gogolin–Prudnik) railway and further to Oberglogau (Głogówek) on the Sudeten Main Line, the narrow gauge railway between Steinau and Neustadt was also planned. However, due to the outbreak of World War II both plans were scrapped.^[3]

After the war, PKP took over the railway. In 1951, the railway was integrated with the central station for easier access to the railway, becoming a branch line on the Sudeten main line. With the increase of road transport, the passenger traffic was ceased on 1 January 1966,^[1] and with the lack of industry outside Nysa, the railway closed on 1 January 1971, as operating the railway seemed unprofitable. It was decided to dismantle the railway on 1 May 1971, with the railway being dismantled in the 1970s.^[3] The railway was used as a short branch line to the industrial equipment plant, until it was disused somewhere in the 1990s.

The railway used mostly Prussian T 3 locomotives from Neisse, the locomotives were used for passenger, mixed and freight traffic on the railway. After the war, the railway used locomotives from Nysa railway depot.^[3]
