Location
Maguwo Station Location in Java

To the east of this station, before Brambanan Station, there was Kalasan Station which has been inactive since the operation of Kutoarjo–Solo Balapan double-track line.

To support the double track operation on this route, the mechanical signaling system at this station was replaced with an electric signaling system by PT Len Industri (Persero) which had been installed since 2013 and then began operating on 1 October 2018.[4][5]

History

...and after the second renovation in 2019 (photo was taken on 19 December 2019).

Maguwo Station original building is a cultural heritage. Line 1 is now used as a place for Pupuk Pusri Palembang to go to a warehouse located west of the station.

Initially, this station was just a small station whose function was only to be a crossing point for long-distance trains, loading and unloading of the Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang [id] (abbreviated PUSRI) carriages to the warehouse emplacement, and a turn-off point for boiler cars to supply Avtur.

According to the 2004 KAI railway timetable (Gapeka), the old Maguwo Station has four railway tracks with line 2 being a straight line. There are four badug tracks (two connect on line 1 and the rest connect on line 4). The badug track on line 4 was previously used for Pertamina's avtur boiler train for the Cilacap–Maguwo, while the badug track on line 1 was used for the landing and storage of the Pupuk Sriwidjaya Palembang train, whose warehouse is to the west of the station.[6] During the days of switching to multiple lines, this station remained in use.

With the completion of the Yogyakarta-Solo double track[7][8] and due to the construction of a suitable Adisucipto Airport, a new Maguwo Station was built which is a few hundred meters to the east to facilitate access for passengers to and from the airport. The new Maguwo Station started to be tried on 2 June 2008.[3] Once tested, a few months later the old Maguwo Station building was officially closed and made a cultural heritage by the Center for Conservation and Architectural Design Unit of PT KAI because it has historical value and has participated in the film Janur Kuning (1979).

Starting in March 2015, the line in front of the old Maguwo Station will be used as a transfer for the Palembang Pusri fertilizer to the warehouse located west of the old Maguwo Station. Another destination is to Gombong and Ceper Station and transported from Cilacap Station.[9]
