Semarang–Cheribon Stoomtram Maatschappij  [ id ] (SCS) was established in 1895 and received a permit concession from the Dutch East Indies Colonial Government to build a railway line from Semarang to Cirebon. This company had an office in Tegal, and started building its railroad in 1895 until it was finally completed in 1897. SCS focused on the transportation of passengers and goods (particularly sugar, petroleum and fertilizer) on the Semarang–Pekalongan–Tegal–Cirebon line. [5] [6]

To reduce the accumulation of passengers and goods in Semarang, a large station is needed. SCS has its own station, namely Semarang SCS or Semarang-West; Likewise in Cirebon, there is the Cirebon SCS. The current Semarang SCS Station building was inaugurated on 6 August 1914 [4] designed by architect Henri Maclaine Pont, a Dutch architect. This station is functioned to replace the existing Pendrikan Station function. Unlike Pont's first work (the SCS Tegal Office—which did not have anything special in terms of architecture), this Pont's work took part in the Paris Exposition International Forum in France, 1925. [1] In the past, this station was separated by a rail line from Semarang Tawang Station at a distance of 2.5 km. [7]

After the Djawatan Kereta Api (Railways Department) made a list of stations throughout Indonesia in the 1950s, the Semarang-West Station was then given the name Semarang Poncol. [8]

Building and layout

Semarang Poncol Station has nine train lines with lines 1-3 which are shaded by a canopy. Initially, line 4 was a straight line. After the double track on the compartment between this station eastward to Tawang Station was put into operation on 7 February 2014 [9] and then westward to Jerakah Station on 28 March 2014, [10] the line layout at this station underwent a slight revamp and line 5 also used as a straight line.

To the northeast and southwest of the station, respectively, there is a locomotive depot and a train depot which are used to store and maintain locomotives and passenger trains with a terminus in the city of Semarang. The station building has been renovated several times so that its shape is different from its original form.

In 2019, the old electrical signaling system at this station has been replaced with the latest output signal produced by PT Len Industri. In addition, the railroad track between this station and Semarang Tawang Station is used as a double track.
