Filed under: DAOP 2,Pembelajaran dan Eksplorasi — secretariat @ 01:14
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.

Thanks to oll of you member of IRPS. Your trip to several stations in Garut bring me to past life when was i high school . I live in Cikajang and school in SMAN I Garut. in 1980 I usualy used the old train who call Si Gomar and Si Kuwik, two loco who was served that route. Ia have no idea why the lokal people call that. But, i think, inspired by the loco noises: kuwiiiik…kuwiiiik…and ..gojessss…gojesss…ha ha ha
