With the construction of the Hochstadt-Marktzeuln–Probstzella railway line, Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg station lost some of its long-distance passenger traffic in the early 20th century. Today, Intercity Express trains on the Munich–Berlin route run exclusively on the Nuremberg–Erfurt high-speed line. Long-distance trains on the Saxony-Franconian Main Line have bypassed the station since 2000, using the Schlömen Curve.
Since 2014, Deutsche Bahn Regional Express trains, which are separated from Lichtenfels in Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg, have operated here, as have Agilis diesel multiple units for regional services.
Special steam locomotive trips over the inclined plane occasionally take place.
