Coal was loaded at the colliery station from 1867, and about 30 years later only stones from the nearby quarry were loaded.
At the end of the Second World War, a provisional connection of the colliery station to the Osnabrück-Bremen line had to go into operation as a bypass; in this way, rail traffic could be maintained even when the Osnabrück railway junction was destroyed. Even today, the colliery railway station is used to tranship stones of all sizes - and at certain times, the Osnabrücker Dampflokfreunde e.V. send their restored locomotives on the rails to the main railway station..
