Location
The railway station is located in Faux, Court-Saint-Étienne, Walloon Brabant, Belgium.[1] Faux station is located at kilometric point 7.30 on line 140, from Ottignies to Marcinelle (Charleroi), between the stations of Court-Saint-Étienne and La Roche.
History
The Belgian State Railways Administration put the stopping point of Faux into service on 1 August 1901. It was originally a simple stopping point depending on the station of La Roche.[2]
In 1909, this stopping point became a full stop; a building, equipped with a counter and facilities for unloading parcels and goods, was built at this time.
Faux became an unstaffed stopping point again in 1964.[2] The station building has since been demolished.
