There is now a concrete block company in the station building of Weißenborn station, it is of the same type as that of Olberode.
There is a quarry nearby that had loading facilities here. The former sidings have now also been dismantled.

The former train station in Weißenborn (Hesse) is now a residential building. The line it stood on was closed and partially converted into a cycle path. The station was located on the Bad Hersfeld–Treysa railway line, which closed passenger service between Oberaula and Treysa on June 1, 1984, and freight service on August 31, 1995. Today, part of the line is used as a cycle path, the Rotkäppchenland Cycle Path.
