The station, which is located at an altitude of +46 meters, is the station that is located in the easternmost part of the Operational Area I Jakarta and Karawang Regency, and is the largest railway station in Karawang Regency.

History

After Staatsspoorwegen (SS) bought the Batavia–Krawang railway line from Bataviasche Oosterspoorweg Maatschappij (BOS) in 1898, the line was then developed, one of which was by extending the line from Kedunggedeh to Cikampek.^[5] The line extension to Cikampek Station was inaugurated on 27 December 1902.^[2]

At that time, SS had planned to build a new railway line on the Cikampek–Padalarang section as an alternative to the Jakarta–Bandung route. SS's wish at that time was due to the high demand for a faster train to get to its destination. The Cikampek–Padalarang cross route was successfully opened on 2 May 1906. From Cikampek Station, construction was also directed towards Cirebon, which was opened on 3 June 1912.^[2]

The station building was destroyed during the First Dutch Military Aggression in 1947. Only the roof canopy of the station is still original, while the rooms have been renovated during the era of the Railway Service (Djawatan Kereta Api or DKA) in the 1950s.^[6]

Building and layout

The Cikampek Station building is an island station and has eight tracks. Line 3 is a straight gauge which is usually used for trains going directly to Jakarta, line 4 is a straight gauge for trains going directly to Cirebon and line 6 is a straight track towards Purwakarta.

To the south of the station, there is a railway turntable which is used to turning the direction of the locomotive.

The yard of the Cikampek Station emplacement is also the site where unspoored or grounded hydraulic diesel locomotive units belonging to the Tanah Abang Locomotive Depot which are no longer in operation and are no longer used, such as C300 locomotives, BB304 locomotives, BB306 locomotives, BB303 locomotives and BB300 locomotives.^[7]

Since March 2022, the old electrical signaling system at this station has been replaced with a new one produced by PT Len Industri. The emplacement of this station is extended to the west, in order to accommodate long trains of freight (especially container) that cross or are overtaken by other trains at this station.
