Location Ketanggungan Barat Station Location in Java

At the time this station was still active, this station had three railway tracks with track 2 as a straight line. Since 15 December 2014, this station has been inactive due to double tracks operation on the Ciledug–Larangan segment. In addition to the double tracks operation, the minimum occupancy and the station's location that is too close to the Ketanggungan station causes this station to be closed.^[3][4]

Services

There are no services at this station after the double tracks was operation.

Incidents
