History

Jatibarang Station is a train station that was built simultaneously with the Cikampek railway to Cirebon until it was completed on 3 June 1912, aiming to connect the Staatsspoorwegen (SS) line with the Semarang–Cheribon Stoomtram Maatschappij (SCS) line.^[2][3]

This station has branches to Indramayu and Karangampel, but these branch lines have been deactivated.

Building and layout

Jatibarang Station has five railway lines. Initially, line 2 was a straight line,^[5] but since the construction of the Telagasari–Cirebon double-track line in 2004–2007,^[6] the existing line 2 is only used as a straight line towards Cirebon, while line 3 is used as a straight line towards Cikampek. The station building which is a legacy of the Staatsspoorwegen is maintained. In the past, there was a rail siding leading to the Sriwidjaja Fertilizer Warehouse.^[5]

The station building has undergone many changes and renovations, including the extension of the station canopy and the construction of new buildings. The new building which is used to support service standards was inaugurated on 7 February 2020 by the Main Director of KAI, Edi Sukmoro, together with the Regent of Indramayu.^[7][8]
