Basdorf is the ultimate hub in the Heidekrautbahn network. Coming from the north, the two branches from Wensickendorf and Groß Schönebeck meet here. From the south, the historic main line from Berlin-Wihelmsruh and the bypass line from Berlin-Karow join the line. From Basdorf, trains will also run via the reactivated main line to Berlin-Wihelmsruh. In addition to the new line, the other sections will also be made fit for the future. This primarily includes the planned extension of existing platforms to a usable length of 140 meters. Directly adjacent to Basdorf station is the maintenance workshop of the Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn (NEB). The Heidekrautbahn Museum, which is well worth a visit, is also located there. The hydrogen filling station is a brand new addition to the company premises. It can be used to refuel the new hydrogen trains, which have been in service since the end of 2024. By using green electricity from a regional wind farm, the hydrogen used is green, and the trains make a significant contribution to CO₂ reduction. Furthermore, their electric motors make them significantly quieter and more powerful than the previously used diesel railcars. The new vehicles are part of the overall Heidekrautbahn Hydrogen Rail project: https://wasserstoffschiene-heidekrautbahn.de/projekt. More information on the reactivation of the Heidekrautbahn can be found at https://www.i2030.de/nord/.
