History

The station was opened on 1 May 1896 and is located on the Sittard–Herzogenrath railway and the Heerlen–Schin op Geul railway. The station was an important mining station, until the mines closed down.

As part of the Maankwartier ("Moon Quarter") project, construction of an entirely new train station started in December 2012.

gollark: - also the cubes, I guess
gollark: Well, various possibilities exist:- add "exist again" after "exit the zzcxz" - this could take you to a new area with more doors or something- somehow add a mysterious button on the wall of one of the halls which switches the door to osmarks.net mode (somehow²)- "go in an anomalous direction" (or somehow "go up"/"go down") in the initial room- in the bee room, one series of choices could allow access to it- the "sandy ground" area after going backward
gollark: Yes, that is what I was wondering.
gollark: Hmm, where would it actually go? I guess I could repurpose one of the doors.
gollark: Other osmarks.net server room™ possibilities: loud VRRRRRRRRR noises (unless it's liquid-cooled); blinky lights; maintenance robots; tunnels running to other places (with network cables).
