Eys-Wittem station is the Eys station, now a station of the Miljoenenlijn. The station is located on the railway line from Simpelveld to Schin op Geul and is located on the road from Eys to Wittem near the hamlet of Eyserhalte that refers to this station.
The station was opened on May 6, 1900 under the name Eijs-Wittem, the station building had been present since 1880. The station was expensive to use and was therefore closed on May 15, 1938.
The station building still exists. Until the end of the railway's operation, additional trains stopped at the Eijs-Wittem station several times a year. These were pilgrimage trains with pilgrims on their way to the monastery in Wittem.
The railway was revived in 1995. The Miljoenenlijn runs steam trains between Simpelveld and Schin op Geul and between Simpelveld and Kerkrade.
The station in Eys, which is now owned by private individuals, has since reopened under the new name Eys-Wittem station. Operation of Eys-Wittem station is limited to the running days of the Miljoenenlijn.
