The track has several old stations with class I, II, and III categories, and has three tunnels (one of them, the Wilhemina tunnel, with a length of 1,116 metres, is the longest tunnel in Indonesia); it is also the longest (Cikacepit) bridge in Indonesia, with a length of 1,250 metres and a height of 100 metres above the ground. The rail authority has announced its intention to re-activate the train service and will restore Pangandaran and Cijulang stations while still keeping their original features.[4]
