Neubeckum station is a passenger station in the district of Neubeckum, part the Westphalian town of Beckum in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The station was established in 1847. The village of Neubeckum (literally "new Beckum") was established in 1847 at the railway station, six km from Beckum. It lies on the Hamm–Minden railway, one of the most heavily trafficked lines in Germany. It has an hourly Regional-Express service, the Rhein-Weser-Express (RE 6) on the Düsseldorf–Dortmund–Bielefeld–Minden route as well as an hourly Regionalbahn service, the Ems-Börde-Bahn (RB 69) on the Münster)–Hamm–Bielefeld route, so there is a service about every half an hour. Both lines were previously operated by DB Regio NRW. In December 2008, eurobahn, based in Hamm, took over the operation of RB 69. Neubeckum is still a railway junction. At Neubeckum station the Münster–Warstein railway of the Westfälische Landes-Eisenbahn (Westphalian State Railway) crosses the Hamm–Minden railway. Its purpose is mainly to bring high-purity limestone from the Warstein limestone quarries to the cement plants to the north at Ennigerloh. Neubeckum's former cement plants have closed. Until 1975, the Westfälische Landes-Eisenbahn operated passenger services, including to Münster, Warendorf and Lippstadt. The line is still used for the operation of steam-hauled museum trains from Münster via Neubeckum to Lippstadt, Erwitte, Anröchte and Warstein.

The THTR-300 was a thorium cycle high-temperature nuclear reactor rated at 300 MW electric (THTR-300) in Hamm-Uentrop, Germany. It started operating in 1983, synchronized with the grid in 1985, operated at full power in February 1987 and was shut down September 1, 1989. The THTR-300 served as a prototype high-temperature reactor (HTR) to use the TRISO pebble fuel produced by the AVR, an experimental pebble bed operated by VEW (Vereinigte Elektrizitätswerke Westfalen). The THTR-300 cost €2.05 billion and was predicted to cost an additional €425 million through December 2009 in decommissioning and other associated costs. The German state of North Rhine Westphalia, Federal Republic of Germany, and Hochtemperatur-Kernkraftwerk GmbH (HKG) financed the THTR-300’s construction.
