They would like to renovate this old train set and integrate it into the concept of the renovated station square (now called Stroopplein) with its station pavilion, but unfortunately the resources for the renovation of the very dilapidated carriages are lacking. Nevertheless, they want to have carriages on the site in the long term and perhaps they will then also find a destination.

The Stationsplein in Borgloon was renamed Stroopplein on 1 January 2025 following the creation of the merged municipality of Tongeren-Borgloon. Due to the merger of Tongeren and Borgloon, several streets and squares must be renamed. The location with the fewest addresses will be renamed. Local residents were allowed to help choose the new name. See also vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2024/06/25/stationsplein-in-borgloon-zal-na-de-fusie-met-tongeren-strooppl
