During the years of the Lithuanian Republic the narrow gauge railway was used very intensively. According to the old Lithuanian maps, the length of this railway was 450 km till the World War II. It had to carry loads - wood, quartz sand, cattle, flax, sugar beets, food. It also was a very popular means of communication. In 1929-1940 the trains went through Anyksciai several times a day.

Panevezys became the center of the narrow gauge railway. The railway went to Joniskelis, Pakruojis, Pasvalys, Birzai, Svencioneliai from the center. After the war the narrow railway carried wine, felts, corn to Berlin, the quartz sand to the factories of Panevezys. Various loads were delivered to Anyksciai too. From 1950 to 1980 the work of the station was the most intensive.

In the 6th decade the railway engines were changed into heat engines. During 1970-1988 about 93 thousand tons of various loads were taken away from the station and about 110 thousand loads every year were delivered to this station. About 17 thousand passengers used the train as a means of transport. But there were less passengers and the narrow railway became more and more unprofitable.

In 1972 the traffic on the trains in the section Anyksciai-Utena-Svencioneliai was canceled and the section between Utena-Rubikiai was destroyed. The section Panevezys-Anyksciai-Rubikiai, which is 68,4 km, was used for carrying loads, passengers and for tourism. A very nice project was started in 1987 to transform the section Anyksciai-Rubikiai to children’s railway. But after some trips it stopped. Since the autumn of 1999 the quartz sand has not been carried and on May 25, 2001 regular passenger trips were stopped. Now you can only book trips in advance.
