History

Depok Station, Circa 1925.

Depok Station was built at the time of the construction of the Batavia–Buitenzorg railway line. Construction began in 1869 from Batavia Noord Station aka Batavia Station. And was completed on 1873.[5]

At the end of the '80s, the Depok Station was rebuilt, all the old lines, the old catanary pole, demolished because the line from Manggarai–Depok was built double tracks. Since then, the old building has ceased to exist. While the double tracks from Depok Station to Bogor was only completed in the late '90s, after the 1993 Ratu Jaya train accident between Depok Station with Citayam Station made the existence of a double track important.
