Their goods trains work the route between Bremervörde and Rotenburg; traffic on the Rotenburg–Brockel section was withdrawn on 31 December 2002, only potatoes being transported here in its last years. Following the derailment of a goods train in the area where the route branches in Rotenburg the turnout was removed, so that the Brockel branch is no longer accessible and increasingly overgrown by vegetation. In July 2008 work on dismantling the tracks was started here too. The railway, on which the legendary steam locomotive "Heini" travelled to the surrounding villages, still exists today, but is only worked by goods traffic. After leaving the Bremerhaven – Hamburg route, which is still used by passenger trains, it heads southwards into a region of sprawling geest countryside with numerous pine woods, running parallel to the B 71 through Bevern, Deinstedt, Selsingen, past the former concentration camp at Sandbostel, through Seedorf and Godenstedt to Zeven. At the northern edge of the town it passes under the Wilstedt-Zeven-Tostedt railway. Immediately south of the station at "Zeven (Han)" there is a turnout to the station of "Zeven Süd" on the former narrow gauge line ("Kleinbahn") which, like the line described here, also belongs to the "EVB". South of Zeven an industrial line branched off to "Aspe" until it was lifted at the end of 2007, before the line continued on its way through the geest country. Running past Elsdorf with its dairy, Gyhum, Mulmshorn, Bötersen, where a track to Rotenburg barracks branches off, and Waffensen, it reaches the bridge over the "Rollbahn". Immediately behind this bridge the aforementioned railway merges with the Weser-Aller railway from the south into the Rotenburg track system, which is approached from the west. The route from Bremervörde to Rotenburg(Wümme) is used mainly for goods traffic nowadays: container trains from Bremerhaven to Hamburg and back, trains for moving construction material to Zeven and Bremervörde and log trains operated by the East Hanoverian Railways to Stendal work this line. Until the introduction of railbuses a steam-hauled passenger train known as "Fidi" ran from here to the surrounding villages with coaches known colloquially as "Donnerbüchsen".
