Before functioning as a station that only serving KRL Commuterline trips, this station also served local train trips to Rangkasbitung Station and to Merak Station, until finally the service was removed on 1 April 2017 and replaced by KRL Commuterline with the Green line. This station is also a station that uses a new building on the Merak–Tanah Abang railway besides Maja, Parungpanjang and Palmerah stations.

History

The Staatsspoorwegen (State Railways and Tramways Service in the Netherlands Indies) built a railway line from Duri to Rangkasbitung via Tanah Abang in order to accommodate and facilitate passenger mobility from Banten to Batavia. The construction of the railway line was inaugurated on 1 October 1899, and the operational of regular trains that serves the route were immediately started.[2][3]

At that time, Kebayoran Station had five lines and was also filled with a series of sand transport carriages, and a B51 steam locomotive was always ready every day to arrange the shunting of the carriages, both at the embankments and the branch rails that led to the loading and unloading warehouse. This scene and atmosphere changed in the 1970s, when the shunting locomotive was replaced by the C300 diesel locomotive. Kebayoran Station was also had a branch line towards a material warehouse building which was managed by the Ministry of Public Works and Housing in the form of a hemispherical iron building. The warehouse was used to unload construction materials transported from trains on the branch line for the construction of the Kebayoran Baru satellite city.[6]

The material warehouse lasted until 2001 when it was finally demolished and its former location became the Simprug Center apartment. It was estimated that the former branch rails would still be visible until 1985, until they were finally dismantled when a new level crossing was made, at the same time as Jalan Kramat which was located on the railbed of the branch. The same conditions were created at Rawa Buntu Station, with a branch rail to the north that goes to the banks of the Cisadane River to transport construction materials.

At the end of the 1980s the number of lines at this station was reduced to only three lines, and carriage loading and unloading activities had stopped because trucks transporting materials could operate directly to the loading and unloading location.[6]

In 1992-1994, the Tanah Abang–Serpong plot was then electrified with French model overhead lines (LAA), one of which was to support the Serpong Express KRL journey which was touted as the forerunner of the KAI Commuter Rangkasbitung Line.[5] At that time, only lines 1 and 2 were electrified at this station, while for line 3 it was only electrified after 2005 with a Japanese-style overhead line pole. In addition, it was estimated that in the early 1990s the station platform was also renovated into a higher platform.

In the early 2000s, the station had a total of 3 lines, with line 1 as a straight line, line 2 as a turn signal used for both traffic and crossings, and line 3 used for overtaking trains, although this line is sometimes used as a place to store or stabling the Plasser & Theurer maintenance train unit. Since the operation of the double track on the Tanah Abang–Serpong line as of 4 July 2007, the layout of this station has been overhauled by adding line 2 as a new straight track.[7]

In order to increase the occupancy of KRL Green Line passengers, in 2014-2016 the Ministry of Transportation of Indonesia began to majorly renovating several stations (including this station) into 2 levels with modern and magnificent architecture and very complete facilities. On 11 May 2016, the construction of the three stations were completed and inaugurated by the Director General of Railways, Hermanto Dwiatmoko together with the Regent of Lebak, Iti Octavia Jayabaya, at Maja Station.[4]

Building and layout
The original building of the Kebayoran station

Even though this station has been renovated to be very grand and spacious, the old station building which is a legacy of the Staatsspoorwegen is still maintained and the train dispatcher room (PPKA) which is also part of the old station building is still in use today. Due to the regular Rangkas Jaya Train and Kalimaya Train services were removed in 2017, the line 3 of the station line is rarely used because there is no more KRL follow-up activity by the train. However, this three station line is still occasionally used as a place for storing or stabling Plasser and Theurer, where this maintenance train unit is usually used to maintain the condition of the rails on that line. Also, this route is also occasionally used for overtaking KRL by short series of coal trains, extraordinary trains, and sometimes it is also used as a KRL stabling place.

Supporting transportation

This station is connected with the TransJakarta BRT services on corridor 8 via Pasar Kebayoran Lama bus station and corridor 13 at Velbak bus station via a pedestrian skywalk.

The construction of the pedestrian skywalk was carried out on March 2022, in order to create a seamless transportation integration by connecting the station with Pasar Kebayoran Lama and Velbak TransJakarta bus stations.

The skywalk also have supporting facilities, such as elevators that makes a comfortable and easy access for KRL Commuterline and TransJakarta passengers to transfer between two transportation modes.[8][9]

The construction of the skywalk was completed on early 2023, and later underwent a public trial from 21–24 January 2023.[10] The skywalk was inaugurated on 27 January 2023 by the Acting Governor of Jakarta, Heru Budi Hartono.[11][12]

Incidents

1987 train crash
Main article: 1987 Bintaro train crash

A crash occurred on 19 October 1987 when train 225 between Rangkasbitung–Jakarta Kota pulled by a BB306 16 locomotive collided with train 220 between Merak–Tanah Abang pulled by the BB303 16 locomotive between Kebayoran Station and Sudimara Station in Pondok Betung, Bintaro, South Jakarta. Over 100 people were killed. According to PJKA (now PT. KAI), it was suspected that the train crash happened due to miscommunication between the Kebayoran Station train dispatcher and the Sudimara Station train dispatcher. According to the story, the remnants of the passenger trains from the Bintaro tragedy were pulled over and parked at the Kebayoran Station emplacement in a condition already covered with tarps.[13]

Other incidents
  • On 12 November 1988, exactly 1 year and 24 days after the Bintaro tragedy, there was a collision between the passenger train numbered 800 for the Tanah Abang–Parung Panjang route pulled by the BB303 15 locomotive and the coal train numbered 1031 for the Cigading-Bekasi relation pulled by the BB304 25 locomotive, there were no casualties in this incident. This collision occurred on Thursday at 04.00 in the morning, which is located about 20 meters (towards Palmerah) from the Jalan Kramat railroad crossing, Kebayoran Lama. The Jalan Kramat railroad crossing was also closed and could not be passed by vehicles, because it was blocked by a series of coal carriages from KA 1031. The roads around the Kebayoran Lama area became congested, because vehicles and public transport heading towards Blok M were diverted via Kebayoran Lama Street. As a result of this incident, the BB303 15 locomotive, which was towing KA 800, was heavily damaged, the cowhanger sank downwards and the body wall was crushed. The two front passenger train units of KA 800 were also heavily damaged and 2 axles of the first passenger train fell. Meanwhile, the BB304 25 locomotive, which was towing KA 1031, only suffered minor damage.[14]
  • On 3 March 2006, the 4th train with number K3 81 1 02 (former MCW 302 DMU) from the Rangkasbitung–Jakarta Kota passenger train series pulled by locomotive BB304 18 suffered a broken roof and axle just as it was about to enter the Kebayoran Station emplacement, this happened because of the a train that is weak and not strong enough to support passenger capacity that exceeds its capacity, this incident occurred at 06.30. The train has experienced turbulence since departing from Pondok Ranji Station, but the train continues to run at high speed. About 300 meters after crossing the Jalan Kebayoran Lama railroad crossing, the train began to shake violently and suddenly broke. As a result of this incident, 20 people were injured.[15]
  • On 26 June 2008, a series of coal trains numbered PLB 8601 Cigading-Bekasi route pulled by locomotive BB304 22 experienced a derailment on the switch at the Kebayoran Station emplacement (from Pondok Ranji Station), this incident occurred at 04.43 in the morning. The train dispatcher (PPKA) at Kebayoran Station already knows that there was a problem with the switch machine, with the flashing switch on the train dispatcher service desk, the train dispatcher cannot give a green signal to PLB 8601 to cross. The train dispatcher immediately checked directly the condition of the switch points, and made sure the switch points were in a tight position heading to track 2. The train dispatcher also propped up the open position of the switch tongue with a stone, with the aim that the correct position of the point points would not change again when a series of trains passed by. After returning to the room, the train dispatcher saw that the railroad switch light on the PPKA service desk was still flashing. Confident that the switch position was correctly pointing to track 2, Kebayoran Station train dispatcher contacted the Control Center (PK) so PLB 8601 was allowed to cross the Kebayoran Station emplacement slowly. When crossing the switch at a speed of 15 km/h, the 4 axles of the BB304 22 locomotive that was pulling PLB 8601 finally dropped, because it hit the tip of the switch tongue which was not in a tight position.[16]
