The 1 km long railtrack between Hindel and Hombourg is a remain of the local railway 38. This line went from Plombières, over Hindel Bas, Hombourg and Battice and connected to the 36, Aachen-Liège, at Chènee. This track could be saved by privat initiativ. The Station House was beautiful restaurated and in the small yard one finds a collection from long times past !
