Therefore, a flying junction was built two and a half km further east on the Lower Silesian-Märkische Railway near Rummelsburg marshalling yard.

Passenger trains to the east began in Strausberg or in Lichtenberg and no longer used the VnK line.

It achieved importance after the war when the northbound track leading to the GAR was dismantled in 1947-1948 for reparations.

In 1948, a short-term trial was established of a passenger service operated with railcars from Berlin-Grünau station over the GAR, the Grabensprung curve and the eastern part of the VnK line to Kaulsdorf.

During the redesign of the Outer ring starting in the early 1970s a connection was built to the Eastern Railway at Biesdorf cross.
