After almost 18 years of being untouched, the East Java Regional Railway Engineering Center, in collaboration with the Indonesian Railway Preservation Society (IRPS), conducted the preservation of historical railway assets in the Tamanan area, Bondowoso. Preserved assets are in the form of Krian-type Tebeng signal props – which are only remaining along the non-active Kalisat-Panarukan route. This preservation activity was supported by PT KAI Daop IX Jember, Daop 9 Railfans Community (KRD9), Dead Rail Hunter Community (DRH), and residents of RT 21 RW 05 Wonosuko Singal Village.

This asset’s preservationis not only intended as an educational facility, but also as a remembrance that the railway (KA) had passed through this line in its golden era. With the preservation of of the Krian type Tebeng signal prop, it is hoped that the object's authenticity will be maintained as it was when it was first established in 1897 or 125 years ago.

This preservation event was attended directly by the Head of Infrastructure Section of the East Java Regional Railway Engineering Center, Adjie Assumemana, IRPS Chairman Ricky Dwi Agusti, and PT KAI Daop IX Vice President (VP) Jember Broer Rizal. "We want to make this 125th anniversary of the Kalisat-Panarukan train line as a memorable one. We also thank the residents who support this activity," said Adjie. Adjie also added that with this activity, the public, especially millennials, could know that there was once a train that passed this route. "For historical witnesses, this can be nostalgic in itself," he added.

The Kalisat-Panarukan railway line was opened on October 1, 1897, by the Dutch East Indies railway company Staatsspoorwegen (SS). At the beginning of its establishment, this route was not only used for passengers but also for transporting goods. This line is unique because there are several crossings with sugar cane lorries, plus all stations use Krian type signaling, except Bondowoso and Situbondo Stations until the end of operations in 2004. Of all the existing Krian-type Tebeng signals, now there are only five pieces that are still intact. One of them is located at Tamanan Station, Bondowoso Regency.
