History

Unlike other stations in Surabaya which were built by Staatsspoorwegen (SS) and Oost-Java Stoomtram Maatschappij (OJSM), Surabaya Pasarturi Station was built by the first private railway company in the Dutch East Indies, namely Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij (NIS). After making profits in the 1890s, NIS applied for concessions to build new lines. On 1 September 1897, this company received a concession permit for the construction of a new railway line for the Gundih–Gambringan–Bojonegoro–Surabaya route.[4] In order to accommodate passengers from Gresik, a branch route to Gresik was built. In addition, a railroad crossing from Babat to Merakurak was also built.[5]

The station and the Lamongan-Surabaya cross-railway line began operating on 1 April 1900. Then on 15 October 1900, the Gundih-Kradenan section of the railroad was completed and construction continued to Bojonegoro. The line was completed in its entirety on 1 February 1903.[6]

The name "Surabaya Pasarturi" was given since the Railway Department (Indonesian: Djawatan Kereta Api) began to record stations in Indonesia in the 1950s. This station is named "Pasar Turi" because there is a market with the same name.

Surabaya Pasarturi Station has eight railway lines. Initially, line 2 was a straight line from and to Jakarta-Semarang, while line 3 was a highway route to and from Surabaya Gubeng/Sidotopo and Kalimas. After the double track on the segment from this station to Kandangan Station was officially operated on 3 September 2014,[7] line 2 functioned as a double track straight line from Jakarta-Semarang direction only and line 3 functioned as a double track straight line towards Semarang-Jakarta.

Since July 2014, the mechanical signaling system at this station has been replaced with an electrical signaling system made by PT Len Industri.[3]

This station is equipped with a locomotive depot to the south and a train depot to the west. To the north of this station, there is a railway line under the wholesale center building before a branch north of the level crossing of Jalan Dupak—to the west to Kalimas and to the east to Sidotopo as well as a shortcut to Surabaya Gubeng.[8]

Currently, the cross-track at this station is already a double-track. With this double track, the trip from Surabaya (Pasar Turi) to Jakarta via the northern Java route can be reached in 8 to 11 hours, while the trip to Semarang can be taken in 3.5 to 4.5 hours.

In 2019, the platform on the side of this station was lengthened and added a canopy to support long train passenger train services.

This station is part of the rail wye used to turn locomotives; only used if the turntables in the locomotive depot are not functioning.

Apart from serving long-distance trains and local trains, Surabaya Pasarturi Station is also used as a parking lot for the Jayakarta train, which was originally parked at Surabaya Kota Station.
