Abstract

In the Dutch colonial era, sugar is one of the important products of Cirebon, but the abundant sugar production was not supported by good transportation means and infrastructure which hindered the distribution of the product. This problem was resolved by the construction of a railway line by the SCS company which connects Semarang – Cirebon. The problem that tries to solve this paper is the railway’s role in transporting products in Cirebon during the colonial era. The paper uses a descriptive-analytical method with a spatial approach to answering the problem, using 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 data on archaeological research on the railway in Cirebon and the surroundings. The building of the Semarang Cirebon line, in the beginning, is mainly to accommodate the transportation of sugar production, the line reaches into the Port of Cirebon. Railways become the main transportation method for transporting goods and people between regions. Archaeological remains along the SCS line are witness to the use of trains in sugar production, one of which is lines that go to sugar factories.
