Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The station of Athus, Belgium, as seen from the street. This station used to be a busy international station until the seventies, allowing the surrounding steel industry from France, Belgium and Luxemburg to send their products to customers all around europe. It was also a hub station for workers of those industries. During the '90s, the station was only reached by passenger trains from Luxembourg. Connexions in Belgium were replaced by bus. Since 2008, as the south of Belgium is increasingly becoming "sleeping suburbs" of Luxembourg City, a passenger train service is again organized between Arlon and Virton, through Athus adn Rodange (the later is the new hub with connexions to Longwy (In France), Arlon and Virton (In Belgium) and 2 lines to connect Luxemboug City (via Dippach or via Esch sur Alzette. Français : La gare d'Athus (Belgique), vue depuis la place de la gare. Cet imposant bâtiment témoigne du passé industriel de la région. Jusqu'aux années '70, Athus était le nœud d'une étoile desservant les bassins sidérurgiques de Longwy (France), Rodange et Esch (Luxembourg) et l'Athus - Musson (Belgique). La gare voyait non seulement passer les produits finis et les matières premières, mais elle était aussi fréquentée par les ouvriers de toutes ces industries. Après la crise sidérurgique des années, '70, le trafic s'effondra. Seule le Luxembourg compte encore une industrie sidérurgique limitée. Les ouvriers sont acheminés par le bus ou par leurs propres moyens, la gare n'a, durant une vingtaine d'année, été desservie que par les trains des CFL (relation Luxembourg - Esch - Rodange - Athus). En 2008, la SNCB a rouvert une desserte Arlon - Virton via Athus et Rodange. Cette dernière gare devenant le nœud d'échange entre les différentes lignes du trafic voyageur. |
