Purwosari railway station

Purwosari Station is the second oldest train station in Surakarta. In the map of the Samarang – Vorstenlanden line published in 1869, the collection of the Dutch Universiteit Leiden, this station is not mentioned at all. The Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij (NIS) plan to build a railway line (NIS) is Solo Station (Solo Balapan Station) and Solo-Rivier Station, which are located in the Bengawan Solo valley.{{Cite web|url=http://maps.library.leiden.edu/cgi-bin/iipview?krtid=3911&name=04946.JPG&marklat=-7.5711&marklon=110.8276&sid=3g3hk24564601&seq=3&serie=0&lang=1&ssid=&resstrt=0&svid=333418&dispx=1366&dispy=626|title=Dutch Colonial maps - Leiden University Libraries|website=maps.library.leiden.edu|access-date=29 January 2019}} However, on maps drawn in 1878, the station's name began to be called (but under the wrong name, Poerwodadie).{{Cite web|url=http://maps.library.leiden.edu/cgi-bin/iipview?krtid=1604&name=04623-3.JPG&marklat=-7.5711&marklon=110.8276&sid=3g3hk24564601&seq=3&serie=1&lang=1&ssid=&resstrt=0&svid=333418&dispx=1366&dispy=626|title=Dutch Colonial maps - Leiden University Libraries|website=maps.library.leiden.edu|access-date=29 January 2019}} It is estimated that the addition of this station will be carried out together with the finishing of the railway line and also opened together with the official opening of the Ceper – Solo NIS segment line on 27 March 1871.{{Cite book|title=Statistiek van het vervoer op de spoorwegen en tramwegen met machinale beweegkracht in Nederlandsch-Indië|last=BOW|publisher=Landsdrukkerij|year=1898|location=Batavia}}{{Cite book|title=Staatkundig en staathuishoudkundig jaarboekje voor 1872|last=de Vereniging voor de Statistiek in Nederland|publisher=E.S.

Since 1907, this station has used an architecture similar to that of Kedungjati and Willem I Ambarawa Stations. The station which was originally a side platform later became an island station. The size of this station building is smaller than Kedungjati or Purwosari because the roof span is only 13 meters, while Kedungjati is 14.65 meters and Ambarawa is 21.75 meters. This building consists of a canopy that covers the main building and a path that flanks it.{{Cite web|url=https://kebudayaan.kemdikbud.go.id/bpcbjateng/stasiun-ambarawa/|title=Stasiun Ambarawa, Stasiun Militer Belanda|last=Dananjaya|first=Putu|date=20 June 2016|website=BPCB Jawa Tengah|publisher=Direktorat Jenderal Kebudayaan, Kemendikbud RI|access-date=4 August 2018}}

Initially Purwosari Station had eight train lines with line 2 being a straight line. After the double track crossing Solo - Yogyakarta was operated in 2007, line 2 was used as a straight line towards Solo Balapan and line 3 was used as a straight line towards Yogyakarta. Line 1-5 is often used to welcome arrivals as well as to cross directly the train, line 6-8 to park freight cars, and two additional lines to the locomotive depot and cement warehouse. Although this station has undergone renovations in the form of an overcapping roof since the Eid homecoming season in October 2010,{{cite web|url=http://www.suaramerdeka.com/v1/index.php/read/cetak/2010/06/29/114848/Renovasi-Stasiun-Purwosari-Rampung-sebelum-Lebaran-|title=Renovasi Stasiun Purwosari Rampung Sebelum Lebaran|date=29 June 2010|publisher=Suara Merdeka|access-date=5 October 2017}} the original station building has been preserved and made a cultural heritage.

This station used to be unique because in the middle of the rail yard that had been given overcapping there was a switch{{clarify |date=December 2022}} and an intersection that was connected to line 3 to line 4. The intersection crossed the platforms on the two lines. However, since the station's signaling system was replaced with an electric signaling system made by PT Len Industri Indonesia (Persero){{cite web|url=https://www.merdeka.com/uang/kalahkan-siemens-bumn-elektronik-raup-pendapatan-rp-23-triliun.html|title=Kalahkan Siemens, BUMN Elektronik Raup Pendapatan Rp23 Triliun|publisher=Merdeka.com|date=21 June 2013|last=Mohamad|first=Ardyan|access-date=5 October 2017|quote=Saat ini, masih ada pesanan proyek dari Kemenhub untuk menggarap persinyalan kereta di jalur Jogja-Solo, Duri-Tangerang, dan Parung-Maja.}} in December 2015, line 4, wesel, as well as the intersection was dismantled to widen the platform so that the station only has seven lines.

To the east from line 1 there is a fork towards Wonogiri. From this station there is also a fork that goes to Boyolali through Kartasura which has now been deactivated. This line also has branches in Tegalsari towards Colomadu. Until now some parts of the remnants of this route can still be seen.

Formerly Purwosari Station had a locomotive depot; There is still a water tower on the north side of the station as a legacy as a locomotive depot. Currently, the depot is still operating, but it is not a locomotive depot, but a mechanical dispenser. The loading and unloading of cement is also carried out at this station.

This station was last renovated in 2017, by replacing the floor of the station, which was originally known as the NIS tile, with marble floors.{{Cite web|url=http://solo.tribunnews.com/2017/11/16/terkait-renovasi-stasiun-purwosari-solo-pt-kai-diminta-gandeng-bpcb|title=Terkait Renovasi Stasiun Purwosari Solo, PT KAI Diminta Gandeng BPCB|date=16 November 2017|website=Tribun Solo|language=id-ID|access-date=29 January 2019}} This tile, produced by Alfred Regout & Co., Maastricht, Netherlands, has a size of 20 × 20 cm with an uneven texture to facilitate airflow. This tile is strong, sturdy, and durable considering the original function of this station as a goods station.

A Batik Solo Trans bus station is located nearby, serving Corridor 2 of the service.

Since November–December 2019, this station has installed signboards to go to certain rooms/track numbers/facilities, track directions along with the distance traveled, as well as monitor screens for information on train departures and arrivals in real time which looks like those at the airport. This board then became viral on the social media site Facebook due to a writing error in English "departure" under the word "Kedatangan (Arrival)", which was finally corrected on 3 January 2020.{{Cite web |last=Isnanto |first=Bayu Ardi |title=Petunjuk Salah 'Kedatangan, Departure' di Stasiun Solo Terpasang 1,5 Bulan |url=https://news.detik.com/berita-jawa-tengah/d-4845710/petunjuk-salah-kedatangan-departure-di-stasiun-solo-terpasang-15-bulan |access-date=2023-05-06 |website=detiknews |language=id-ID}}{{Cite news |last=Saputra |first=Ginanjar |title=Papan Petunjuk Stasiun Purwosari Solo Bikin Bingung, Departure Kok Kedatangan? |language=id |work=Solo Pos |url=https://www.solopos.com/papan-petunjuk-stasiun-purwosari-solo-bikin-bingung-departure-kok-kedatangan-1039578,%20https://www.solopos.com/papan-petunjuk-stasiun-purwosari-solo-bikin-bingung-departure-kok-kedatangan-1039578 |access-date=2023-05-06}}{{Dead link|date=May 2021|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=yes}}
