On 26 April 1945, concentrated fire from small arms and automatic weapons pinned down K Company of Major General Stanley Eric Reinhart's 260th Infantry Regiment as it entered Plattling.
On 15 October 1875, Plattling was given another junction, this time to the south via Pilsting to Mühldorf (the Mühldorf–Pilsting railway), which was expanded in 1880 by a branch to Landshut.
Today the town is served by the electrified, single-tracked line from Landshut to Plattling (KBS 931).
