History
Pasuruan–Kalisat segment
Before retiring on 15 November 1880, Maarschalk personally surveyed plans for an extension of the line to Probolinggo Station to connect it to Tanjung Tembaga Harbor. The proposed construction was approved on 11 December 1881. On 3 May 1884, the SS completed construction of the Pasuruan–Probolinggo line.
Based on Staatsblad Number 214 published on 23 June 1893, Staatsspoorwegen again expanded the network by building the Probolinggo–Jember–Panarukan railway line. The 34-kilometer Probolinggo–Klakah segment was completed on 1 July 1895. On 1 June 1897, the 62-kilometer Klakah–Jember line was completed. The final segment, namely Jember–Kalisat to Panarukan along with its branch lines, was operational on 1 October 1897.
Kalisat–Ketapang segment
The difficulty of transporting agricultural products from the Banyuwangi region, which is an isolated area and surrounded by steep hills that can't be traversed by village roads or cart paths, has resulted in Staatsspoorwegen (SS) offering trains as a solution for transporting agricultural products from this region.
