the Lloyd Railway towards Rostock was dismantled from Neustrelitz to Plaaz as reparations. However, in the late 1950s, it became clear that the reconstruction of the line was urgently needed. The new port of Rostock in particular required good links for freight trains. The reconstruction of the line began in 1958 and it was completely realigned for long sections. The line was also relocated in the Neustrelitz area. While the original line branched off to the northwest at the northern end of the station, the new route initially follows the Northern Railway and only later turns to the northwest. The line between Lalendorf Neustrelitz was opened as a branch line on 31 March 1961 and it was reclassified as a single-track main line on 30 May 1964. With the change of traffic to diesel-haulage from 1969 to 1973, new large workshop was built at the Neustrelitz locomotive depot (Bahnbetriebswerk). This at first mainly serviced large diesel locomotives of classes 130 and 132. About 2000 railway workers worked at the site Neustrelitz. The tracks through Neustrelitz station were electrified on 2 June 1984. In previous years, the second track towards Waren (Müritz) had been relaid and the station had been rebuilt. Since then the new island platform has been reached via a pedestrian underpass. The line to Neubrandenburg was electrified in 1993. The station building was renovated in 1992. Traffic was abandoned on the line to Feldberg in 2000. The junction of the line from Mirow was rebuilt in 2003 allowing the track to run directly to the station; since then Neustrelitz Süd station has not handled passenger traffic. The signal systems has been operated since that time by the electronic signal centre at Fürstenberg/Havel, which is controlled from the operations centre in Berlin. In December 2012, the railway operations on the line to Mirow were to have been discontinued due to low ridership. As part of a model project, however, in collaboration with the state and the infrastructure manager, RegioInfra GmbH, four pairs of trains a day between the two cities have continued to be operated by Eisenbahngesellschaft Potsdam.
