History

The company was founded in 1894 after R.H. Eysonius de Waal and O.J.A. Repelaer van Driel had received concessions for the construction and operation of a steam railway in 1893 and 1894. [1]

The construction of the route was carried out sequentially in three phases. The construction of the track cost 1,500,000 guilders, financed by the Financiele Maaatscappij van Nijverheidsondernemingen in Ned. Indies. The project was led by the engineer C. Groll. The railway line was built on the basis of Dutch economic interests by providing fast and cheap means of transport to Dutch government companies, especially sugar factories.

The route was shut down from 1978 to 1980 section by section. The assets, which had been formerly owned by the SDS and later the PT Kereta Api Indonesia belonged to the Department of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia from the 1980s to regional autonomy in 2001 and to the Transportation Department of the province of Central Java from 2001 to 2006 .
