Lloyd Railway
The Güstrow Plau Railway ("Güstrow-Plauer Eisenbahn") opened its main line from Güstrow to Plau in 1882, which was later extended to Meyenburg. The Lloyd Railway connecting Neustrelitz and Rostock was opened in 1886, but it by-passed the town of Güstrow. Then, a nearly ten kilometre-long connection was opened to Plaaz on the Lloyd Railway by the Güstrow Plau Railway in 1887. The importance of the line was limited to local traffic, especially after 1887 when the direct connection from Güstrow to Rostock over the Güstrow–Schwaan railway went into operation.
