History

Staatsspoorwegen ter Sumatra's Westkust (SSS), a division of Staatsspoorwegen, was built a railroad in West Sumatra based on a concession issued by the Dutch East Indies government which was approved by the Dutch parliament in September 1887. Construction began on 6 July 1889[2] to connect Padang with the well-known Ombilin coal mine in Sawahlunto.[3] In detail, the railroad line consists of Emmahaven (Teluk Bayur)-Padang Station which was inaugurated on 1 October 1892, and Pulau AiePadang Panjang on 1 July 1891.[4]

Padang Station currently serves Sibinuang train to and from Pariaman and Naras and, since 2018, Minangkabau Express airport train to and from Minangkabau International Airport dedicated station.[5] Presently the railroad to Pulau Aie which starts from track 1 has been reactivated and the expansion of the station building has been carried out.[6]
