Lloyd Railway
After the MFFE had been nationalised in 1877, the Mecklenburg parliament decided in 1890 to nationalise the Lloyd Railway. The negotiations dragged for a while, so that the line did not become part of the MFFE until 1893. After the nationalisation, the stations of both railway companies were united under a single administration. From 1893, the express trains between Rostock and Berlin ran via Güstrow between Rostock and Lalendorf, rather than via the direct route; as a result Güstrow became one of the most important nodes in the Mecklenburg railway network. In order to facilitate the transition between the two tracks, a connecting curve was built from the MFFE station towards Neustrelitz, which was known as the "Berliner Kurve" (Berlin curve). The Lloyd Railway's station was subsequently used as a freight yard. A connecting curve was also built from the yard to the line towards Teterow. The Lloyd Railway from Lalendorf to Rostock lost its importance and was reduced to the status of a branch line. It was not until 1930 that the Lalendorf–Rostock was upgraded and used by some express trains.
