 A new two-track turning area at Hermannstraße is the terminus of the S47.Also since German reunification, the Mittenwalde line became the route by which the city's household waste is conveyed in containers from the "Berliner Stadtreinigung" (Berlin Sanitation) depot on the Teltow Canal to the Hermannstraße terminus of the line, now known as Güterbahnhof Neukölln, Neukölln Goods Station, where it is transferred to Deutsche Bahn goods trains.In December 2005, however, the district of Neukölln decided to convert unused track area in the goods station to industrial use; the Neukölln-Mittenwalder Eisenbahn is to wind up its operations there at some point in the future.
