The original station at Tongeren opened Nov 9, 1863 as a endstation in the connection with Hasselt. The extension to Glons was realized on March 10, 1864. It took again until Sept 1, 1877 that the connection with Liège-Guillemins became a fact.
In 1917 the freightline to Aachen was finished. With this Tongeren-Glons became a part of line 24.
The section Tongeren - Vreren - Y Glons of line 24 was transferred administrativly to line 34 in 1973.
