"La gare de Yves-Gomezée est située sur le long de la ligne 132 de Charleroi à Couvin, entre les gares de Walcourt et de Philippeville.

Elle se trouvait à l’origine sur une section de la ligne 136 de Walcourt à Florennes qui fait désormais partie de la ligne 132N.

Une gare existait déjà à Yves-Gomezée du temps du Grand Central Belge (GCB) au lieu dit Le Voyan, au bord de l'actuelle rue Voyau et de l'ancien passage à niveau de la rue du Pont Manteau, avec un seul quai et un petit bâtiment à étage dans le style du GCB.

Cet arrêt ferme au plus tard en 1962 en même temps que les autres gares de la ligne 136 mais doit avoir rouvert en 1970 lorsque cette section de la ligne 136 a été intégrée à la nouvelle ligne 132N évitant la portion de la ligne 132 noyée sous les lacs de l'Eau d'Heure. Les quais, toujours au même emplacement, sont visibles en 1983.

Cet arrêt a depuis disparu au profit d'un autre emplacement, 420 m en direction de Mariembourg, à seulement 600 m de l'ancienne gare de Saint-Lambert fermée en 1982. La rambarde en béton de cette gare est toujours visible en 2020."

"Yves-Gomezée station is located along line 132 from Charleroi to Couvin, between Walcourt and Philippeville stations.

It was originally on a section of line 136 from Walcourt to Florennes which is now part of line 132N.

A station already existed in Yves-Gomezée at the time of the Grand Central Belge (GCB) at the place known as Le Voyan, on the edge of the present rue Voyau and the former level crossing of the rue du Pont Manteau, with a single platform and a small multi-storey building in the style of the GCB.

This stop closes at the latest in 1962 at the same time as the other stations on line 136, but must have reopened in 1970 when this section of line 136 was integrated into the new line 132N avoiding the portion of line 132 drowned under the Lacs de l'Eau d'Heure. The platforms, still in the same location, were visible in 1983.

This stop has since disappeared in favour of another location, 420 m in the direction of Mariembourg, only 600 m from the old Saint-Lambert station, which was closed in 1982. The concrete railing of this station is still visible in 2020."
