History

Bangil railway station was commissioned by Staatsspoorwegen as a state railway company in Dutch East Indies on May, 16th 1878 at the same time as the commissioning of Surabaya―Bangil―Pasuruan railway line which was the first railway line construction. Bangil is classified as a huge station, it has a locomotive depot. After Staatsspoorwegen commissioned Surabaya−Pasuruan line, the company continued to built a new line to Malang which was commissioned on July, 20th 1879.[2]

The main building of the station had been rebuilt, except for the platform canopy and the locomotive depot that is not used today. In some records, the original main building was bombed and destroyed during Dutch military aggression against the Republic of Indonesia, (see Operation Product) in 1947. After the battle, the DKA-RI (the first railway company of Indonesian Republic) rebuilt the main building of the station at the following year.[3][4]
