The public railway company Staatsspoorwegen built the line in 1899 as part of the Western railways (Dutch: Westerlijnen) in order to improve connections with the western regions of the island of Java.
On 2 January 1899 the first part of the Jakarta Kota-Anyer Kidul mainline was opened between Batavia Zuid (Jakarta Kota) and Tangerang. After completing the railway in the following year, the line between Duri and Tangerang remained as a mere branch line.[1]
