The railway between Jakarta and Anyer Kidul is a railway connecting several places in the province of Banten to Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. It was constructed between 1899 and 1900 in the Dutch colonial age, during which it was also known as the Banten railway (Dutch : Bantamlijn).

History

The public railway company Staatsspoorwegen built the line in 1899 and 1900 as part of the Western railways (Dutch : Westerlijnen) in order to improve connectivity with the western regions on Java.

On 2 January 1899, the first part was opened between Batavia Zuid (Jakarta Kota) and Tangerang. Until 12 September 1923, this line started from Batavia Zuid, headed west across the street via Pasar Pagi (current day Petongkangan street), turned south to Angke after which the railway followed the current route via Duri. Due to the narrow streets downtown, the new railway from 1923 went around the city on partially elevated tracks. The original plan for this included a rail curve starting from Batavia station going east and curving 180° north- and westwards. Because of the higher costs however, the line was to go east to Kampung Bandan after which trains would have to revert onto the new railway going northwest around the old downtown area. This is the situation as it remains today. [1]

The railway stretch from Duri to Rangkasbitung was completed on 1 October 1899, to Serang on 1 July 1900, and the final extension to Anyer Kidul on 20 December 1900. [2]

Part of the railway up to Rangkasbitung is electrified with 1.5 kV overhead lines.
