Stasiun Wanaraja (WNR)

Wanaraja station (WNR), designated as a Class III station situated at an elevation of +692 meters, is located in Garut Regency within the operational jurisdiction of Daerah Operasi II Bandung. Originally established during the colonial era as part of the Garut–Cikajang railway expansion, the station holds historical significance for facilitating regional agricultural and passenger transit in the early 20th century. Architectural elements of the station reflect classic colonial-era railway design, characterized by single-story functional structures and traditional timber detailing that have been preserved through subsequent revitalizations.

The station’s track layout features a compact platform yard configuration optimized for regional train operations, typically comprising a main line and passing loops to manage local traffic safely. As a vital node in the national railway transit network, Wanaraja plays an essential role in connecting rural Garut communities to larger urban centers, thereby supporting local economic mobility and reviving historic rail corridors across West Java.
