In addition, a railway line from Babat to Merakurak was also built.[5]
The station as well as the Lamongan-Surabaya railway line began operation on 1 April 1900. On 15 October 1900, the Gundih-Kradenan section of the line was completed and the construction continued to Bojonegoro. The line was completed entirely on 1 February 1903.[6]
