Stasiun Ciawi (CAW)

Ciawi station (CAW), designated as a Class II railway facility, is situated at an elevation of 510 meters above sea level within the Tasikmalaya Regency of West Java. Operating under the jurisdiction of Daerah Operasi II Bandung, the station holds notable historical significance as a vital linkage in the mountainous Priangan railway network developed during the late colonial era. Architecturally, it retains characteristic Indies-style elements typical of mountainous Dutch-Indonesian railway engineering, featuring functional masonry and wide overhangs designed to withstand tropical highland weather.

The station's platform yard configuration comprises multiple tracks primarily utilized for train crossings and overtaking maneuvers, which are essential given the single-track nature of much of the surrounding mainline. Ciawi plays a crucial role in the national railway transit network by ensuring the safe and efficient flow of both intercity passenger services and freight transport traversing the challenging, undulating terrain between Bandung and Banjar.
