around the Deli area. Indonesia gained independence in 1945–1953, the separate systems (except the Deli Railway Company) were combined into the Djawatan Kereta Api Republik Indonesia (DKARI, Railways Service of the Republic of Indonesia). Non-state railway systems in Java retained their paper existence until 1958, when all railway lines in Indonesia were nationalised, including the Deli Railway Company, thereby creating the Perusahaan Negara Kereta Api (PNKA, the Railways State Corporation) on 25 May 1963. On 15 September 1971 the name of PNKA was changed to ''Perusahaan Jawatan Kereta Api'' (PJKA, the Railways Service Corporation). Later then, on 2 January 1991, PJKA was changed its name and status as Perusahaan Umum Kereta Api (Perumka, the Railways Public Corporation), and as of 1 June 1999 was converted into a joint-stock company as PT Kereta Api (Persero) (PT KA). In May 2010, its name was changed into PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) (PT KAI) until the present day. In 2019, KAI carried 429 million passengers and 47.2 million tonnes of cargo. KAI has conducted some export operations with narrow gauge-type trains exported Australia, Malaysia, and Thailand (freight wagons), Bangladesh (passenger wagons) and locomotives and DMUs to the Philippines.

Trackage

The company currently operates two types of railways, Cape gauge () and standard gauge (). The 1,067 mm gauge is most common in Java and all regional divisions of Sumatra, while the railway uses 1,435 mm gauge. Historically, the company had operated 600 mm gauge and 750 mm gauge for some tramway lines. The total number of

laid in Indonesia was , although not all lines were in operation at the same time. In 1939, the total operational trackage was (it is unclear whether dual gauge tracks were counted once or twice). The present extent of the system is now as of 2019, with the Aceh system, most of the West Sumatra system and most former steam tram lines abandoned, but including new tracks built alongside old tracks (double tracking projects). Much of the branch lines constructed in the colonial era have been lifted up or abandoned in the 1980s. No major railway construction has since taken place; however, many of the busiest lines have been double tracked. of the northern coast area lines of Java was double tracked in May 2014, followed by the completion of a double tracking project on the south coast by 2015. On 8 June 2015 the Duri-Tangerang double track project was inaugurated for KA Commuter Jabodetabek, but it can be also used for airport trains. Significant projects being considered include: * Quadrapling Manggarai-Cikarang line. The project will be divided into 2 segments: Manggarai-Bekasi, 15 kilometres long and scheduled to be finished in 2016 and Bekasi-Cikarang, 17 kilometres long scheduled to be finished in 2017 * Airport line to the Sukarno-Hatta International Airport. A 33 kilometer line from Manggarai, Dukuh Atas in Sudirman, Tanah Abang, Angke, and Pluit and along the airport toll road to the airport. The cost was projected to be US$1.13 billion. Construction began 2012 and originally projected to be completed at 2014; though the completion of the railway had been delayed to 2017, when the train commenced operation. * Rebuilding of the Aceh railway, with assistance from the French railway company SNCF. * Building new 15-kilometres-long track between Cibungur and Tanjungrasa station. This shortcut will ensure trains from Bandung to Semarang do not need to go through Cikampek station. Future expansion plans of the railway will include linking of existing railway lines in Sumatra from Aceh to

-engined. Most new locomotives use diesel-electric transmission, while older and lighter ones have hydraulic transmission. More than 400 locomotives (see below) are documented, but the actual number of operational locomotives is smaller. A recent source mentioned that the company have had 409 units of diesel locomotives. The oldest diesel locomotive in the system dates from 1953. Based on Minister of Transportation's Regulation No. 45 of 2010, all of locomotives are required to use a combination of letters and numbers. A letter or a combination of letters is used to denote the wheel arrangement (currently there are C, D, BB and CC types), and a three-digit number is used to denote the class (2''xx'' for classes with electric transmission and 3''xx'' for classes with hydraulic or mechanical transmission), starting from 0. A two-digit number shows the year of operations, and two- or three-digit after the year shows the running number. Examples * CC 206 13 31: The 7th generation of diesel-electric Co'Co' locomotives, has operated since 2013, and have a running number 31. * CC 201 77 01R: The 2nd generation of diesel-electric Co'Co' locomotives, has operated since 1977, and have a running number 01 and has been repowered. * BB 304 84 07R: The 5th generation of diesel-hydraulic B'B' locomotives, has operated since 1984, and have a running number 07 and has been repowered. The steam locomotive classification was directly derived from Japanese practice. Tank locomotives were numbered from the 10s, while tender locomotives from the 50s. Letter combinations were used for articulated locomotives (in the case of Indonesia these were

However, electric multiple units have been imported from Japan and elsewhere since 1976.

All cars can accommodate 22 passengers, and only 19 passengers for Nusantara cars with a queen bed. Snacks, meals and drinks are provided for free. KAI recommends advanced booking with payment due to high demand.


Disability wagons

On 18 October 2014, KAI launched the Jayabaya train with route Pasar Senen-Surabaya-Malang and back. The train contains two disability wagons, which include toilets for disabled persons, wide doors and spacious areas for wheelchairs. It will be implemented on other trains gradually.


Cargo

To anticipate a steady number of passengers, KAI has boosted cargo deliveries. On 3 May 2011 the company trialed the line from Cikarang Dry Port to Surabaya. KAI and

KAI will replace the track from R33 to R54 between Cicurug and Sukabumi with length 20 kilometres, spending Rp2 trillion ($222 million). One cargo train can replace 40 to 60 trucks. In addition, the company serves trains of coal in South Sumatra. The government has tasked KAI with connecting Cikarang Dry Port and Tanjung Priok Port to ease heavy traffic between two locations. Construction began in early 2015. Trucks and flatbeds can only run 1.5 trip per day, while a train can carry 40 TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) per trip.

To popularise their business, KAI launched the library wagon (''Kereta Pustaka Indonesia'') which displays documented company activities, small size assets and books. The library wagon staff holds an exhibition for one week in one station and then moves to other station.

Legislation

Railway operations in Indonesia were formerly regulated by the Act No. 13 of 1992 on Railways. This legislation stated that the government operates railways (arts. 4 and 6), delegates operations to an operating body hen the ''Perumka'', later ''PT Kereta Api''(art. 6) and provides and maintains railway infrastructure (art. 8). Private companies are allowed to co-operate in operation of railways (art. 6). In 25 April 2007, the new regulation, Act No. 23 of 2007 took effect. There were some changes in railway operators. In this law, track maintenance is more directly handled by the government (via the Directorate General of Railways, under the Ministry of Transportation). This is expected to improve the railway's position vis-à-vis other transportation modes. The People's Representative Council has finished an amendment to the current legislation, to allow a greater role for private companies and regional governments in providing railway services. However, as yet there are no private operators of railway services.
