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).

It was permanently staffed until the 1990s, since when the train traffic in and around Tongeren has been regulated from Bilzen.

The Tongeren signal box remained in place, but was only in use in the event of faults or maintenance works.

On 24 June 2016, it was finally closed at the same time as the Bilzen signal box.
