The oldest preserved station in the province of Limburg can be found in As. After the closure of the coal mines there was no future. In 2014 the last local train drove to football club KRC Genk.

A must see for any enthusiast.
The municipality of As, with the support of the cultural council of As and i.s.m. VZW Killerbee and Spray & Play 4 train sets painted as a whole train. Fifteen professional Street Art and graffiti artists took care of this painting. During a graffiti jam, these train sets were transformed into colorful eye-catchers of the station site. This is the very first time that a jam was organized on trains in Flanders.

The artists are a mix of Belgian and Dutch top graffiti artists. They are both crews and individual artists, so each piece of the train was entrusted to a different artist or crew.
The artists are: 2 Dirty, B-art, Tuzq, Beireh , Eyes-B, Eres, KBTR, K. Shit
Joachim, Lasplak, OBG (Smok & Bird),
Aerosol Kings and SPA (Spray Paint Artits)

For years, As Station played a central role in the coal mining in this region, because from here the many miners and coal wagons left for the nearby mines in Eisden, Waterschei and Winterslag. Now you will find the narrowest visitor reception in the National Park in a restored train.

The former As station is now a cozy café where you can still breathe in the atmosphere of yesteryear. The platform serves as a terrace.
