Capitel 108: Tongeren - Kortessem

Trackwidth: 1000 mm

From 1891 on there were plans to mak tram lines in the environment of Tongeren. But only in 1896 a plan was made for a line from Tongeren to Kortessem where a connection was made with the line Hasselt - Oreye (cap.81). First plans were to combine the capitals, but the local communities did not agree. So a new capitel was formed. It was accorded in 1901, the line was opened in 1904.

Finance: 1.000.000 franc (state: 500.000, province Limburg: 333.000, local communities: 167.000)

  • LSTMFrom begin until 1919
