The station is on the Hasselt-Liège railway and marks the beginning of the Tongeren-Aachen railway through Visé to Germany. The station was also the final stop of the now demolished Drieslinter-Tongeren railway. The train services are operated by the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB).
