On Monday, August 16th, 2021, steam locomotive 'Waldbröl' was used at Osberghausen station in a much-noticed and much-photographed operation.

Early on Monday morning, April 26th, 2021, around 06:00 a.m., the loading of freight wagons with Oberberg 'beetle wood' began in Engelskirchen-Osberghausen.

 Our renewed attempt to reactivate the Wiehl Valley Railway (Wiehltalbahn) for regular local rail transport, which we started with our anniversary event in October 2019, significantly picked up pace in 2020.

At Osberghausen, track construction works for the renovation of the station track installations have now begun. By this, the 'society for the preservation of the Wiehl valley railway' wants to allow for the removal of the so called 'pine beetle wood' from the upper Berg county.

A work plan - agreed by the town of Waldbröl and the preservation society - is the foundation for near- and middle-term improvement measures for the railway station area. Active members of the preservation society have worked out this plan in an multistage procedure.
