This only tunnel of line 38 had a length of 141 m. On August 2, 1914, the Belgian army exploded the entrance to the tunnel towards Liège. When they advanced, the German occupiers immediately had it cleared up. In 1940, the Belgian army collapsed the entire tunnel. Once again the German occupiers cleared the site and allowed the trains to run through the deep open gorge as can be seen today. They built a bridge over it, which was demolished in 1952.
