Stasiun Kemelak (KMK)

Kemelak Station (KMK) is a Class III railway station situated in the Ogan Komering Ulu Regency of South Sumatra, operating under the jurisdiction of the Indonesian Railways Company’s Regional Division IV Tanjungkarang. Located at an elevation of 50 meters above sea level, the station serves as a vital node within the regional transit network, facilitating the movement of both passengers and freight across the southern corridor of Sumatra. Its establishment reflects the historical expansion of colonial-era rail infrastructure designed to integrate the interior regions of Sumatra with major coastal ports, thereby supporting the economic development of the surrounding agricultural and industrial landscapes.

Architecturally, the station retains the functional design characteristic of mid-sized Indonesian rail facilities, featuring a modest yard configuration optimized for efficient train crossings and passing maneuvers. As a critical link in the line connecting Baturaja to Tanjungkarang, Kemelak plays an essential role in maintaining the operational fluidity of the national railway system. By providing necessary infrastructure for logistical support and regional connectivity, the station remains an indispensable component of the local transportation framework, bridging the gap between rural Ogan Komering Ulu and the broader provincial transit network.
