Idzikowice - a junction station with sidings (to Remtrak works), additional tracks and 2 connections with the Tomaszow Mazowiecki - Radom line (Idzikowice - Drzewica) for freight traffic only and Idzikowice - Radzice (passenger and freight traffic). There is also a service stop for employees of ZUT Remtrak and PR Idzikowice. It was planned to build a stop for passengers from Opoczno and the Opoczno district, but in the end a location at Opoczno Południe station was chosen.

On 28 February 2018, PKP PLK signed a contract with a consortium of Budimex and KZA Przedsiębiorstwo Automatyki i Telekomunikacji for the modernisation of the station with its adaptation to the speed of 230 km/h for passenger trains.[1]

Tracks in the station

The main railway tracks are formed by the 1st and 2nd station tracks between which lies the island platform number 2. All trains arriving and departing from the neighbouring Katowice Zawodzie and Będzin stations arrive on these tracks. Tracks 1 and 2 are secured by a standard automatic block.

For the routing of trains in the Będzin <-> Sosnowiec Południowy section, the line track number 1P is used, which is controlled by a semi-automatic block defined by the departure and entry signals of the SG and SPł stations. It is therefore a single space section.

For the routing of trains in the Katowice Zawodzie <-> Sosnowiec Południowy section, branch track 2P is used, which is controlled by a semi-automatic block defined by the departure and entry signals of stations SG and SPł. It is therefore, as in the case of track 1P, a single space section. The Tesko Steel siding also enters the station.[2]
