## Incident

* On 25 October 1995, the Galuh (name at that time) train coupled with the Kahuripan derailed around Cirahayu. This incident resulted in many trains falling into a ravine and two locomotives being severely damaged and requiring extensive maintenance. The majority of the dead and injured were from the carriages that fell into the ravine.
* On 16 October 2024, two pedestrians consisting of a father and child were hit by a Serayu train when they were about to cross the tracks between Kiaracondong and Gedebage Stations. At the time of the incident, the child forced himself to cross and did not realize that a train was passing directly. The child and father was taken to the hospital but his life lost.
