To the east of the station, before Brambanan Station, there was Kalasan Station which has been inactive since the operation of KutoarjoSolo Balapan double-track line.

To support the double track operation on Kutoarjo–Solo Balapan route, the mechanical signaling system at the station was replaced with an electric one by PT Len Industri (Persero) which had been installed since 2013 and began operating on 1 October 2018.[4][5]

History

...and after the second renovation in 2019 (photo was taken on 19 December 2019).
Maguwo Station original building is a cultural heritage. Track 1 is now used for Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang freight train to go to a warehouse located west of the station.

Originally, Maguwo Station was just a small station whose function was only to be a crossing point for long-distance trains, loading and unloading of the Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang [id] (abbreviated as PUSRI) carriages to the warehouse emplacement, and a turn-off point for boiler cars to supply aviation fuel.

According to the 2004 KAI railway timetable (Gapeka), the old Maguwo Station has four railway tracks with track 2 being a straight track. There are four dead-end siding tracks (the first two was connected to track 1 and the rest was connected to track 4). The siding on track 4 was previously used for Pertamina's avtur boiler train for the Cilacap–Maguwo route, while the siding on line 1 was used for the landing and storage of the Pupuk Sriwidjaya Palembang train, whose warehouse is to the west of the station.[6] The station remained in use during line switching from single to double track.

With the completion of the Yogyakarta-Solo Balapan double track[7][8] and due to the construction of a more suitable Adisucipto Airport, a new Maguwo Station was built a few hundred meters to the east to facilitate access for passengers to and from the airport. The new Maguwo Station started trial on 2 June 2008.[3] A few months later the old Maguwo Station building was officially closed and made a cultural heritage by the Center for Conservation and Architectural Design Unit of KAI because of historical value; one of them is as a background in the historical film Janur Kuning (1979).

Starting in March 2015, the track in front of the old Maguwo Station is used as a transfer point for the Pusri Palembang fertilizer freight to the warehouse located west of the old station. Another destination of the freight is to Gombong and Ceper stations and from Cilacap Station.[9]
