In 1869, all shareholders' meetings finally agreed to a merger of the administration, whereby the individual companies remained legally independent and separate books were kept. The shares of the Neustadt-Dürkheimer company were taken over on January 1, 1870 by the company of the Northern Railway. At the same time, the remaining three companies received new licenses and a uniform interest guarantee.

From 1905, the Bavarian state claimed its right of first refusal. On January 1, 1909, the then largest private railway company in Germany as Royal Bavarian Railway Directorate Ludwigshafen was incorporated into the Bavarian State Railways.
