Lloyd Railway
With the decline in freight traffic, the Priemerwald connecting curve became unnecessary and it was closed. Passenger services were harmonized in 1996 and after that trains ran every two hours. Since 2000, it has been operated as part of the "Ostmecklenburgischem Eisenbahn" (now "Ostseeland Verkehr"), part of the Veolia Verkehr group. After a year and half of closure due to the renovation of the adjoining section of the Lloyd Railway, trains have run since June 2007 between Rostock, Plaaz and Güstrow every two hours; on Monday to Friday mornings and afternoons services were hourly.
