This north to east curve avoiding Pragersko station is used by trains between the Maribor and Ptuj lines if not calling at Pragersko.

If there is a shortage of diesel units, some trains may be loco hauled at short notice. In this case, the train uses the avoiding line before reversing into Pragersko station. This has been observed with the following train:
SuX | LP3854 | Maribor - 12:43 Rače - Murska Sobota |
Rakitovec - Buzet (Croatia)
[61, F1] (45B1 not shown; ERA1 100B1) SI15/6
The complete service over this cross-border section is not easily determined from either the Slovenian or Croatian timetables.

Other sparse services
The following lines have few trains (relative to service levels generally in this country) - fewer than four trains each way on at least three days a week:

34 | Prevalje - Bleiburg (Austria) | 2 return journeys SSuX |
80 | Metlika - Rosalnice | 2 trains SSuX each way with an extra train SuO from Rosalnice |

21 | Ljubljana - Kamnik Graben |
31 | Celje - Velenje |
32 / 33 | Grobelno - Stranje - Imeno / Sveti Rok ob Sotli / Ðurmanec (Croatia) |
