History

The station was built and owned by the Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij (NIS) and was opened on 19 July 1868. NIS was planning to build two railway lines from Semarang, with one going to the Vorstenlanden and the other one to the military town of Ambarawa. The Kedungjati–Gundih–Solo segment of the Vorstenlanden line was operational on 1 September 1869,^[2]^[3] with the line was officially opened on 10 February 1870.^[4]^[5] The line to Ambarawa was opened on 21 May 1873.^[4]^[2]^[3]

In 1907, the wooden station building was dismantled and replaced with the new brick stucco structure.^[6]

The line to Ambarawa was inactive beginning on 1 June 1970 and it was officially closed in 1976.^[7]^[8] The line was completely severed from Kedungjati Station when a bridge in the line collapsed in 1978.^[9] The Kedungjati–Tuntang segment of the line was planned to be reactivated, with the reconstruction started in 2014. The reconstruction work was halted in 2015 and as of 2021 it is yet to be resumed.^[10]
