On March 20 at 07:30AM on platform 3 in Kalibaru Station, East Java, stood a lori (speeder/railway motor car) which would take IRPS team to Garahan Station. Actually the intended route was Kalibaru-Garahan-Kalisat Bondowoso. Since the rail tracks on the Kalisat-Bondowoso line lost many of their rail spikes and soleplates, the route was shortened from Kalibaru to Garahan. The lori departed at 07.40AM and arrived at Garahan Station several minutes later. At Garahan Station, the team continued the tour to Kalisat Station by the 09.50 economic-class Pandanwangi from Banyuwangi.

On 2 March 2008, a team of 11 people, i.e. Asep, Nurcahyo, Intrias, Pura, Krisnaharel and wife, Bagus, Hendra, Tantra, Aryo and Sampurno, tracked down the inactive Cikajang-Garut-Cibatu railway line. There were several former stations and a shelter on the line, i.e Cikajang, Cisurupan, Bayongbong, Cioyod, Kamojang, Cireungit, Pamoyanan (shelter), Garut, Wanaraja, Pasirjengkol and Cibatu. Of the stations, the former Wanaraja had become a nest for swallows and most of its platforms had transformed into paddy fields.
