Station As is a former railway station on lines 21A (Hasselt-As) and 21B (As-Eisden). The station building now houses a restaurant and the Kolenspoorvereniging (Coal Railway Association) uses it for the operation of the tourist railway line Waterschei-As-Eisden.

Station As is also one of the gateways to Hoge Kempen National Park and has an observation tower.

The oldest preserved station in the province of Limburg can be found in As. After the closure of the coal mines there was no future. In 2014 the last local train drove to football club KRC Genk.

Very nice old train station to take a rest. The train carriages on display are a bit old, but the restaurant with terrace is great for a break. From time to time big festivals are held here.
