History

This station is one of the most oldest train stations in East Java. It was commissioned by Staatsspoorwegen Oosterlijnen (East Line) on May, 16th 1878 as the end point of Surabaya-Sidoarjo-Bangil-Pasuruan line.[2] It was built not far from Hoofdstraat or de Grote Postweg (see Great Post Road), now Jl. Soekarno Hatta provincial road in the Indische-Empire and Neoclassic style.

The station previously had 7 tracks, one of which led to the train workshop, warehouses and a locomotive turntable. One track on the eastern side was a branch which connected to the light rail line or tram line belonging to a private tramway company named Pasoeroean Stoomtram Maatschappij (PsSM).[citation needed]

In addition, to the west of this station before entering Bangil there was a small station named Kraton which was used by natives as commuter station and also connected to the coffee factory not far from there. It was closed because the station was so close to Pasuruan.[citation needed]
