The old train station seems to have been preserved to some extent, but the parked train carriages and the old car have seen better days. I especially feel sorry for the car.

Hombourg station was inaugurated on October 1895, at the same time as the section of line 38 passing through the Land of Herve. During World War II, the station was requisitioned by Adolf Hitler and became part of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. There were six daily round trips to Aachen in Germany via Hindel, Montzen and Bushausen. This shuttle service was put into operation when the tunnel between Hombourg and Hindel was replaced. The Belgian army had blown up this tunnel in 1940.

The station has been out of use since 1958 and closed its doors in 1962. After being vacant for almost twenty years, the station and a large part of the track were sold in 1983. The new owner wanted to turn it into a railway museum.

The old train station has been nicely restored. However, many trainsets and locomotives are in poor condition. It is an excellent location for photographers insofar as the site can be entered.
