Purwakarta railway station

troops in Purwakarta Station, 10 February 1948 The Cikampek–Purwakarta railway segment was inaugurated on 27 December 1902, and arrived at Padalarang on 2 May 1906. Built by Staatsspoorwegen (SS), these lines were built to reduce the travel time for the Jakarta-Bandung train journey. SS relies heavily on this line for express trains. When compared to via Cianjur, SS built this route for service users who wanted to get to Bandung quickly. ==Building and layout==

This station has six railway lines with line 1 being a straight double line from the direction of Jakarta and line 2 being a straight double line to Jakarta as well as a single line from and to Bandung. The partial double track was initiated in early 2002 and completed in 2004. Until the mid-1980s, when the steam locomotive faded, Purwakarta Station was the place to change locomotives for trains from Jakarta to Bandung. The flat-cross locomotive which pulled the train from Jakarta was replaced with a mallet locomotive which is more suitable for mountainous areas. Here there are Rheostatic EMU, BN-Holec, and Hitachi. Not to forget, the rest of the carriages electric trains Tōyō Rapid 1000, Tokyo Metro 5000, diesel-hydraulic locomotives, and a series of conservation trains belonging to PT KAI were also sent here. A number of these abandoned EMUs were sold, bulldozed, or destroyed and later deleted from the list of facilities owned by PT KAI and PT KCI. Other KRL service stations are at Station, namely PT KAI's executive AC KRL which was imported or produced before 2009 and KRL owned by PT KAI and PT KCI which is not extended. ==Services==
