Regional-Express service RE 57 (Dortmund-Sauerland-Express) from/to Dortmund runs between Bestwig and Winterberg every two hours, and hourly on weekends, operated with Alstom Coradia LINT 41 (class 648) diesel rail cars, partly in multiple, often mixed with LINT 27 (class 640) rail cars.
It also stops in Siedlinghausen and when required in Silbach and Bigge.

There are generally no passenger services on the remaining section from Frankenberg to Allendorf (continuing to Battenberg (Eder) and Auhammer on the Upper Eder Valley Railway) since the services that existed on summer weekends up to 2005 had been abandoned.
This service was aimed mainly at cyclists and hikers.
Since then, passenger services have been only operated sporadically, mostly at various events such as the Eder-Bike-Tour.
Freight traffic continues on the remaining two sections.
