The Up Line of the Pekalongan–Sragi Section Is Accessible Again, KAI Imposes a Speed Restriction

PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) stated that the up line on the Pekalongan Station–Sragi Station section, specifically at KM 88+6/7, became accessible again to train operations with a restricted speed of 10 km/h starting Saturday (17/1) at 3:00 p.m. WIB.

Vice President Corporate Communication of KAI Anne Purba explained that the reopening of the line was carried out after the waterlogging at the location gradually receded and technical inspection results confirmed that the track was safe to operate.

The first train to safely and smoothly pass through the section was KA 187 Joglosemarkerto.
