Surabaya Pasar Turi Station or Surabaya Pasarturi Station (SBI) is the second largest railway station in Surabaya, East Java. It is located near the Pasar Turi market in Bubutan, Surabaya.[2] It is the main departure point of all train from Surabaya which passes through Pantura to the western cities of Java such as Jakarta and Semarang, but trains south and east line from Surabaya departed from Surabaya Gubeng. Since 2014, the station has upgraded railway signal and railroad switch devices from mechanical to electrical type produced by Len Industri.[3]

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, Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij (NIS). After making profits in the 1890s, NIS applied for concessions to build new lines, and they received a concession for the construction of a new Gundih–Gambringan–Bojonegoro–Surabaya railway line on 1 September 1897.[4] To accommodate passengers from Gresik, a branch route to Gresik was built. In addition, a railway line from Babat to Merakurak was also built.[5]

The station as well as the Lamongan-Surabaya railway line began operation on 1 April 1900. On 15 October 1900, the Gundih-Kradenan section of the line was completed and the construction continued to Bojonegoro. The line was completed entirely 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. The station is named "Pasar Turi" because there is a market with the same name.[citation needed]

Surabaya Pasarturi Station has eight railway tracks. Initially, track 2 was a straight track from and to Jakarta and Semarang, while track 3 was a main track to and from Surabaya Gubeng/Sidotopo and Kalimas. After the double track on the segment from this station to Kandangan was officially in operation on 3 September 2014,[7] track 2 is currently a double track straight line from Jakarta-Semarang and track 3 is a double track straight line towards Semarang-Jakarta.

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

The station is equipped with a locomotive depot to the south and a train depot to the west. To the north of this station is a railway line under the wholesale center building before a junction north of the level crossing of Jalan Dupak — to Kalimas (westward) and Sidotopo as well as a shortcut to Surabaya Gubeng (eastward).[8]

In 2019, the side platform of the station was extended and a canopy was added to support longer passenger trains.

The 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 Pasar Turi Station is also used as a parking yard for the Jayakarta train, which was originally parked at Surabaya Kota Station.
