History

edit
 
 
The Yogyakarta Station c. 1890

Staatsspoorwegen (SS) built the railway line from Cilacap towards Yogyakarta as a part of developing Javanese southern line. Yogyakarta Station was opened along with the line opening on 20 July 1887.[2] The southern platform was owned by the first company of Javanese railway system, the Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij (NIS) with 1,435-millimetre (56.5 in) gauge, while the northern part was owned by Staatsspoorwegen (SS) with 1,067-millimetre (42.0 in) gauge.

There are two currently abandoned tracks that branched from Yogyakarta Station, each to Bantul and Magelang.[4] To the west of the station were two branch tracks which have all been deactivated, namely the route to Magelang–Parakan and to Palbapang, Bantul. The Magelang route was decommissioned between 1972 and 1976 due to the eruption of Mount Merapi, but traces of this route can still be seen in several places on Jalan Tentara Pelajar, Yogyakarta.[5] The line was linked to the now Ambarawa Railway Museum and ends at Kedungjati, which has also been decommissioned. Apart from that, the Palbapang route was decommissioned in the 1973–1980s, but traces of the route can still be seen in several places, one of which is in the parking lot on the northwest side of the Kraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat complex.

Building and layout

edit

Yogyakarta Station is divided into two railway yards in the north and south. It also has two gates: the main east gate facing Jalan Margo Utomo—Jalan Pangeran Mangkubumi for intercity train departures, and the south gate facing Jalan Pasar Kembang for departures and arrivals of Yogyakarta International Airport Rail Link services, local trains, KAI Commuter trains, and intercity train passengers. It also has a special building for the counter at the south gate.

In the 1970s, the number of Yogyakarta Station tracks probably reached eleven lines — not including the shunting line north of the station. The south yard has five train tracks with track 5 being a straight track and the north yard has six train tracks with (possibly) track 6 is a straight track.[6] But in 1999, the platform on line 2 was built to accommodate the doors height of the executive train at the time.[7]

Before the double track construction which was started around 2004, the old track 3 was a straight track towards Surakarta, while track 4 was a straight track towards Kutoarjo.[8] During the construction until its operation on the Yogyakarta–Maguwo segment as of 8 January 2007[9] and then the Yogyakarta–Kutoarjo segment in November 2007[10] until it was inaugurated on 22 January 2008,[11] the station layout underwent some changes: a still intact shunting track — even though it had been demolished — was changed to track 1, the old track 1 was changed to track 2, and the old track 2 was changed to track 3 as a straight track to and from Kutoarjo. In addition, a high platform was added to track 3 — overlapping the old track 3 — and track 5. Currently, track 3 is used as a straight track towards Surakarta and turning track from Kutoarjo, track 4 is used as a straight track from Kutoarjo, and track 5 is used as a straight track towards Kutoarjo.

 
The "Yogyakarta Station" name in Javanese script

In the station area there is a locomotive depot and a train depot which are respectively located to the northwest and west. The rail turntable is to the west of the locomotive depot, which is located northwest of the station.

To the east there is a level crossing in the form of a sliding gate which is specifically for pedestrians (and, until 2023, for bicycles, rickshaws, and andong) passing around the Jalan Malioboro area. In addition, there is a bridge that spans the Code River, known as the Kewek Bridge, which crosses Jalan Abu Bakar Ali.[a]

The station often undergone renovation and rearrangement, including high platform and canopy roof construction.[12] The parking system has also undergone changes: the east and south gates are now only used for pick-up and pedicab parking, while the parking lot is located southwest of the station complex.[13] In order to realize a large international standard train station, the station has been thoroughly renovated since the 2016 Eid al-Fitr mudik season, including remodeling the station counter at the south gate, as well as installing granite floors and repainting.[14] To the south of the station were many crowded kiosks, freight forwarders, and kiosks selling airplane and train tickets, which were demolished in 2017 because they did not have permits and were considered as slum by the KAI.[15]

Yogyakarta Station has an executive waiting room, Anggrek Executive Lounge, which is operated by KAI Wisata and utilizes the pavilion building behind the station.[16]

To upgrade the train's electrical signaling system at the station, as of April 2021 a new electrical signaling system produced by Len Industri has been installed which will replace the old system produced by Siemens.[17] This signaling has been active since September 2021.[citation needed] At the same time, the track between Yogyakarta and Lempuyangan stations is used as a double track railroad.

Station characteristics

edit
 
The Marshall Britannia steam monument, on Yogyakarta Station east entrance

Yogyakarta Station has two locomotive monuments on the east and south sides of the station area. The monument located at the east entrance is a portable steam engine made by Marshall Britannia, United Kingdom. Its location which was originally in the middle of the station entrance has now been moved to the north wing of the road. Meanwhile, the monument located on the south entrance is the D301 22 hydraulic diesel locomotive which has been on display since 12 December 2018. The locomotive display was carried out after all parts of the station underwent an overhaul, including adding toilets from used cars and can be used by the general public.[18][19] In addition to the locomotive monument, near the east entrance, there is the words "Yogyakarta Station" in Javanese script, made in large raised letters.

The station has a train arrival song in the form of an instrumental kroncong song "Sepasang Mata Bola" by Ismail Marzuki as a train arrival bell at all major stations in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, recounting the Indonesian capital moving during the national revolution symbolized by a train from Jakarta to Yogyakarta.[20] The song was arranged by kroncong YouTuber Purwaka Music.[21]
