# Kutoarjo railway station

Kutoarjo Station (KTA) is a large type A railway station located in Kutoarjo District, Purworejo Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The station is located at an altitude of +16 meters and is the easternmost active station operated by Operation Area V Purwokerto.

## History

Kutoarjo Station was opened on 20 July 1887, along with the opening of Cilacap–Kroya–Kutoarjo–Yogyakarta mainline and the 12 km Kutoarjo–Purworejo branch line. The Purworejo branch line was closed in 2010, and over time the line was used to store disused sliding-roof wagons. The line was planned to be reactivated by late 2023, and beginning in June 2023 the disused wagons were scrapped.

## Building and layout

Kutoarjo Station has eight railway lines. Initially the line 2 was a straight line, however after the completion of double track line to Surabaya/Malang in 2007 and was opened on 22 January 2008, the line 3 was used as the straight line for double track towards Surabaya/Malang as well as the main line for the single track towards Jakarta/Bandung, while line 2 is used as the straight line for double track towards Surabaya/Malang and also used for shunting line.
After the opening of double track line to Butuh Station on 30 November 2019, line 2 was used as the straight line towards Kroya, while line 3 was used as the straight line only to and from Surabaya/Malang. Lines 4 and 5 are used to accommodate trains departing from the station, while line 6 is usually utilized to store out-of-service trains and for shunting. To the east of the line 1 there is a junction for the branch line towards Purworejo, however the branch line was closed in 2010 and then was used to store disused sliding-roof wagons.
The current station building is not of the original Colonial era building, except for the platform canopy over line 1 to 3 along with some of the doors and wall facing to the platform 1. Kutoarjo Station original building is thought to have a similar architecture to Purworejo Station. The station building was renovated and altered to tackle overcrowding due to high passenger traffic.
To the east of the station there is a passenger coach depot and a locomotive shed. To the south of the station there are two lines for storing and washing the passenger coaches, while the lines itself lead to a turntable.
