The line was opened by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Est in 1859. In 1956, the line was electrified at 3 kV DC, in order to allow Belgian locomotives to go into Luxembourg station without changing at the border. The line was re-electrified at 25 kV AC on 16 September 2018, and services into Luxembourg are now run by multi-system SNCB/NMBS locomotives.[1]
