Srowot Station (SWT) is a class III railway station located in Gondangan, Jogonalan, Klaten Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The station, which is located at an altitude of +152 m, is a highest active railway station in Operational Region VI Yogyakarta of the KAI.

Originally the station had fiverailway tracks with track 1 being a straight track and two siding tracks for loading and unloading freight services.[2] Since the operation of the Yogyakarta–Solo double tracks to Station in 2001 and the – segment as of 15 December 2003, track 2 has been used as a new straight track towards Solo. As of 2005–2006, track 1 is a straight line to Yogyakarta.[3] [4]

To support double tracks operation, the mechanical signaling system at this station was replaced with an electric one made by PT Len Industri which had been installed since 2013 and started operation on 12 February 2019.[5] [6]

Srowot Station was previously one of the stations that had revenue from freight transportation because it was the end station for transporting sugar and molasses belonging to Gondang Winangoen sugar factory, Klaten until the 1990s. Therefore, this station and the sugar factory were previously connected by a junction to the east of the station yard.[7] The spur to the sugar factory was once passed by a steam locomotive made by Backer & Rueb (Breda), the Netherlands in 1896. It is now only leaves a path, including a former bridge.

Starting 10 February 2021, coincide with the launch of the 2021 train travel chart, this station together with three other stations (Ceper Station, Gawok Station, and Delanggu Station) have started serving KRL Commuterline across Yogyakarta-Solo Balapan.[8]
