[54]  (ERA-E 102A5; ERA-R 224B2) RS21/1
This line allows trains between Ovča and Resnik to avoid Beograd Centar. It is used by all trains between Ovča and Resnik. Apparently this was planned until April 2019, but the services continued in the 2019-2020 timetable and again into the 2020-2021 timetable.

Niš ranžirna is a freight yard to the west of Niš, and is connected to both the Niš - Beograd and Niš - Skopje lines via triangular junctions. Staff trains run from Niš via the east to north curve off the Skopje line, call at the freight yard station at Niš ranžirna (where they wait for 15 minutes and change train number), then run via the south to east curve to Crveni Krst and back to Niš, performing a clockwise loop. Though these trains are clearly intended for members of staff, no objection has been raised to other passengers using them in the past. It was confirmed in October 2018 that the staff trains still run, but are not advertised. Use by passengers has therefore ceased or is unofficial. '''Reports of recent operations would be welcomed by the compilers.'''

===Paraćin - Gilje (Rasputnica Ćuprija)===
[70] (ERA-E 103A4; ERA-R 223A2) RS21/4
At the end of 2015 a new cut-off opened north of Paraćin which straightened the line north to Gilje. The southern part of the old main line was retained to serve Ćuprija with a new east to north curve,  west of the station, joining the old line with the northern half of the new deviation. There are therefore two routes between  Paraćin and Gilje.
Trains which are not booked to call at Ćuprija run the entire length of the new line. Trains booked to call at Ćuprija only use the northern half of the new line. From the December 2017 timetable and during the current timetable (2020-2021) all services are booked to call at Ćuprija, so this line has no service.

Introduction

This list is based on the what train information is available from 11 December 2022, unless otherwise stated. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information. Days of the week are shown in ISO8601 form. Services on some routes were reduced in 2021-22 due to infrastructure works.

Map references for each route entry are given in parentheses ( ). References prefixed "ERA-E" refer to the European Railway Atlas (All-Europe Edition) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "ERA-R" refer to the European Railway Atlas (Regional Series - The Balkans) by M.G. Ball.

Obscure services

Golubinci - Inđija

[10, 30] (ERA-E 102C2; ERA-R 222B5) RS23/1

This curve connects the Beograd - Šid and Beograd - Novi Sad lines. The reconstruction of the Stara Pazova to Novi Sad railway means there appear to be no trains on this section at present.

Niš – Niš ranžirna – Crveni Krst

[91] (ERA-E 103B4; ERA-R 223A1) RS23/2

Niš ranžirna is a freight yard to the west of Niš, and is connected to both the Niš - Beograd and Niš - Skopje lines via triangular junctions. Staff trains run from Niš via the east to north curve off the Skopje line, call at the freight yard station at Niš ranžirna (where they wait for 15 minutes and change train number), then run via the south to east curve to Crveni Krst and back to Niš, performing a clockwise loop. Though these trains are clearly intended for members of staff, no objection has been raised to other passengers using them in the past. It was confirmed in October 2018 that the staff trains still run, but are not advertised. Use by passengers has therefore ceased or is unofficial. Reports of recent operations would be welcomed by the compilers.

The most recent timings available are:

6300/6301 06:40 Niš - Niš ranžirna - Niš
6202/6303 14:40 Niš - Niš ranžirna - Niš
6304/6305 18:40 Niš - Niš ranžirna - Niš

Požega avoiding line: Rasna – Boračko

[50, 73] (ERA 222B2) RS23/3
