Montzen-Station (B)
Build in 1915, Abandoned in 1998.
The railway lines at the Gare de Hombourg were already constructed before 1900.
In 1940, during WW2, the German Army used the station and the tracks for the connection between Belgium and Aachen.
After the war, Belgians started using the station and its tracks again until it was closed for passengers (in 1957)
and freights (in 1962). In 1992, the tracks were demolished and the station was left abandoned.
Today the tracks have been rebuilt and the station has been reconverted to a restaurant.
The old rusty trains will be restored to become part of a railway museum. Terug naar het overzicht. |
