Kroya Station (KYA) is a railway station located in Bajing, Kroya, Cilacap Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The station has nine railway tracks. It is a major junction station where the line from Yogyakarta split, where one goes to Purwokerto and Cirebon, while other head to Bandung.

History

Kroya Station is estimated to have existed since the construction of the Cilacap-Kroya-Kutoarjo-Yogyakarta railway line on 20 July 1887. The development also included a branch line to Purworejo which opened on the same date.^[2]

On 1 July 1916, the Prupuk–Kroya railway was built to serve passengers from Cirebon.^[2]

Since the inauguration of the Eendaagsche Expres (one-day express) train by the Staatsspoorwegen (SS) on 1 November 1929, this station has been used as a place for the merger of the Eendaagsche Expres train which serves the Batavia–Soerabaja route with its feeder (KA feeder) coming from Bandung.^[3]

Initially this station consisted only of a main building and a platform that had a canopy that was almost similar to Manggarai Station (see picture). With the increase in the volume of passenger transportation at this station, the station building was later enlarged until it was finally replaced by overcapping in the 1990s. This old canopy, similar to Manggarai Station, appeared in the film Kereta Api Terakhir [ id ].

Building and layout

Kroya Station has nine railway lines. Initially, line 2 was a straight line in the direction of Bandung or Cilacap or Kutoarjo; line 3 is a straight line to and from Purwokerto; lines 1, 4 and 5 are used as lines for crossing and overtaking trains; lines 6 and 7 as lanes for the parking of freight trains and boiler trains; as well as lines 8 and 9 as connecting lines to the locomotive depot, train workshops, and UPT Mechanic Depot. After the double line was operated on this cross-station segment up to Purwokerto Station as of 5 March 2019^[4]^[5] and then the plot of this station up to Kemranjen Station as of 31 July 2019,^[6] line 2 is now only used as a single track straight line from and only towards Bandung and Cilacap, line 4 is used as a double track straight line towards Kutoarjo, line 5 is used as a double track straight line towards Purwokerto, and lines 1, 3 and 6 are used as lines for crossing and overtaking trains.

There is a locomotive depot to the north of the station complex. In addition to servicing the locomotives that stopped by, this depot was once used to store locomotives and the Serayu train series. However, since the Serayu Train route was extended to Purwokerto Station, the allocation of the train series automatically moved to the Purwokerto Train Depot.

There is also a railway workshop which is located to the west of the station complex and is the largest train repair shop in Daop V. Apart from being a place for repairs, this workshop is used as a "cage" for KAI's Operational Area 5's auxiliary train facility.

Since the double-track was put into operation, the shape of this station has looked different compared to before. The overcapping roof covering lines 1–3 of these stations has been replaced with a new one and is larger in size; covering lanes 1–6. The station platform has also been extended and raised so that it can accommodate a long series of trains and makes it easier for passengers to get on and off the station platform.^[7] The typical old electrical signaling system from KAI's Operational Area 5 produced by Westinghouse Rail Systems which has been installed since 1999 has been replaced with the latest production by PT Len Industri.^[8] Now the former overcapping has been reused at Sumpiuh Station.
