Cirebon Prujakan Station Location in Java

Cirebon Prujakan Station (CNP) is a railway station in Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia. The station is located at a height of 4 metres above sea level is located at Nyimas Gandasari Street, Pekalangan, Pekalipan, Cirebon. Cirebon Prujakan Station is the largest station on DAOP 3 Cirebon after Cirebon Station and Jatibarang Station.^[3]

Cirebon Prujakan Station is a train station stops for economy class train. While the executive and business class train does not stop at this station but stops at Cirebon Station, although sometimes there is also a stop on Cirebon Prujakan to cross, because the line was still using a single track to track eastward. This station is the only railway station in DAOP 3 Cirebon that have drive thru ticketing system since 2011.^[4][5]

In 2011, Cirebon Prujakan Station and Cirebon station was renovated by elevating platform, and added lines.^[6]

History

In a report (verslag) made by SCS, this station was built and inaugurated almost simultaneously with the Sindanglaut–Cirebon railway line, namely on 1 May 1897 at the initiative of a private railway company named Semarang–Cheribon Stoomtram Maatschappij (SCS) as a freight train station.^[7][8] As a container station and freight trains, the construction of this station aims to facilitate and accelerate the flow of agricultural commodities and imported goods. The flow of goods from this station then ends at Cirebon Port because this station used to be a branch station to that port. However, the generation born in the 1980s no longer saw the railroad tracks leading to the Cirebon Harbor that stretched in the middle of a densely populated village, although some of the remnants can still be seen.^[9]

On 3 June 1912, the Cikampek to Cirebon railroad was completed by Staatsspoorwegen and was part of the construction of the railway to Purwokerto and Kroya. To connect the SS line with the SCS line, on 1 November 1914, the two stations were successfully connected.^[10][11]

Since July 2011, the station Cirebon Prujakan transformed into a big station intended as the economy class train stops in the city of Cirebon on the north and south line. So the station is a station branching for the Northern line and south line that were previously located in Cirebon station.^[6]

Building and layout

Cirebon Prujakan Station initially only consisted of a building with a canopy on the overhang of the line 1 platform (like a freight station) and had four train lines with line 3 being a straight line towards Jakarta and Semarang. This station emplacement is an open emplacement with no roof overcapping.

In July 2011 the station was renovated, the platform was raised, a canopy was added, and the tracks were added to a total of nine train lines: four lines to Tegal-Pekalongan-Semarang-Surabaya (lines 1-4) with line 3 being a straight line, four more lines to Purwokerto-Kroya-Yogyakarta-Solo (lines 6-9) with line 7 being a straight line, as well as a special line for freight trains (line 5). Simultaneously with the transfer of the branch line from Cirebon Station to Prujakan Station, the rail line between the two stations was made into a double track.^[6] The electrical signaling produced by the General Railway Signal (GRS), which has been installed since 2003,^[12] has been reworked.

Later, since the Prujakan–Waruduwur double track section was officially operated from 4 July 2013,^[13] line 3 is only used as a straight gauge for the Semarang direction, while line 2 is only used as a straight gauge only for the Cikampek direction. Eventually, since the Prujakan–Luwung double-plot track was officially operated starting 1 April 2015, line 7 has been used as a straight track for the Cikampek direction only, while line 8 has been used as a straight track only for the Prupuk direction.

This station is one of the train stations in Indonesia that provides drive-thru ticketing system, in addition to Gambir Station.^[4][5]
