Sint-Truiden used to be located on railway line 23 between Drieslinter and Tongeren. The current station dates from the 1970s and replaced a building dating from 1882, which was demolished in 1975.

In 2005, the station and its surrounding area were modernised. On that occasion, extra bicycle parking was created and the comfort for train passengers was increased. The platforms were also renovated and raised between 2020 and 2021. This brings them to a standard height of 76 cm, which should greatly improve accessibility. [2]
