[6] In a report made by a private railway company named Semarang–Cheribon Stoomtram Maatschappij (SCS), this station was built and inaugurated almost simultaneously with the Sindanglaut–Cirebon railway line, namely on 1 May 1897 at the initiative of SCS as a freight train station.

However, the generation born in the 1980s no longer saw the railroad tracks leading to the Cirebon Harbor that stretched in the middle of a densely populated village, although some of the remnants can still be seen.

[citation needed] On 3 June 1912, the Cikampek to Cirebon railroad was completed by Staatsspoorwegen and was part of the construction of the railway to Purwokerto and Kroya.

[9][10] Since July 2011, the station Cirebon Prujakan has been a large station intended to function as the economy class train stops in the city of Cirebon on the north and south line, branching the two.

Later, since the Prujakan–Waruduwur double track section was officially operated from 4 July 2013,[12] line 3 is only used as a straight gauge for the Semarang direction, while line 2 is only used as a straight gauge only for the Cikampek direction.
