Duisburg Hochfeld-Süd was also one of the starting points for to freight bypass railway to Oberhausen West.

The former rail yard with attached repair shop is already closed down and largely dismantled.

However, there are considerations that the Regionalbahn service from Duisburg to Duisburg-Entenfang station (RB 37, “Der Wedauer”) might be extended via Düsseldorf-Ratingen West to Düsseldorf.

The Cologne-Minden freight line that ran via Hochfeld Nord along the Boxbart route to Duisburg Central Station has been closed since 31 December 1993 and has already largely disappeared from the landscape.

Cycle paths have been built on parts of the old route, but some of it was used during the development of Wörthstraße to bypass Hochfeld.
