The depot Limburg was known primarily for the sheltering of battery railcar series of ETA 150 and ETA 176, the latter were stationed only in Limburg and were also called Limburg cigar because of its round vehicle front.

Locomotives of series 216 were still parked at the turntable 2. 2002, plate 2 was shut down. In early 2002, the new diesel filling station was built in front of the hub 2. A company was contracted to rehabilitate the soil and remove the contamination until the autumn / winter 2004.
