History
edit
Prabumulih Station was opened in 1915 along with the 78 km Prabumulih–Kertapati railway. A new 73 km railway line connecting the station to Muara Enim was opened in 1917.[3] The new and current (as of 2023) station building was constructed in 1982.[4]
Building and layout
editBefore 1985, the station has nine lines with the line 1 is a straight line. Over time the lines were reduced to only four lines. With the opening of Kertapati–Prabumulih double track on 25 April 2018, the station layout was changed so that the old line 1 becomes a straight line from and towards Kertapati and Prabumulih Baru X6–Lubuklinggau, while the old line 2 becomes a straight line towards Prabumulih Baru X5–Tanjung Karang.
With the opening of aforementioned double track, the station has five lines, with the new line built in the station's platform 1. The layout of the station was changed again so that the new line became the new line 1 as a straight line towards Lubuklinggau, the old line 1 was changed to the new line 2 as a straight line towards Kertapati, and the old line 2 was changed to the new line 3.
To the southeast of the station there is a rail service vehicles depot.
