Tasikmalaya Station (TSM) (Sundanese: ᮞ᮪ᮒᮞᮤᮇᮔ᮪ ᮒᮞᮤᮊ᮪ᮙᮜᮚ, romanized: Stasion Tasikmalaya) also known as Tasik Station is a large class type C railway station located in Lengkongsari, Tawang, Tasikmalaya. The station, which is located at an altitude of +349 meters, is included in the Operational Area II Bandung. All trains that pass through the Kroya–Bandung line must stop at this station.

History

The Staatsspoorwegen continued to exert influence in West Java throughout the 1890s. The Padalarang–Yogyakarta railway line was built to facilitate public transportation-has the characteristics of a route winding through mountains with extreme terrain. On 16 September 1893, the construction of the Cibatu–Tasikmalaya railroad section was completed, and continued with the construction of the railway line to Banjar which was completed on 1 November 1894.

From this station, a branch was built to Singaparna which was inaugurated on 1 July 1911, but it's currently inactive.

Building and layout

The station has seven railway lines with track 2 being a straight track and using an electric signaling system produced by Westinghouse Rail Systems.

The front view of the main station building is very different from other typical Staatsspoorwegen station buildings—possibly already undergoing development—that is, there is a gable roof element with the addition of a three-lapping roof made of wood.
