Weyhe was once the largest marshalling yard in the whole of Prussia.

 The steam locomotive 50 3562-1 was purchased in Staßfurt, towed to Weyhe and restored to commemorate the history of the railroad. Gradually, several carriages were added to house a regional railroad exhibition. Various exhibits, pictures and other information about local and general railroad history are on display there.
