SIDOARJO - PT KAI Operational Area (Daop) 8 Surabaya confirmed and at the same time apologized for the train accident in the form of the drop in the Pandalungan Train for the Gambir-Surabaya-Jember connection at the Tanggulangin Station Emplasmen on Sunday, January 14 at around 07.57 WIB. "The railway line is temporarily impassable due to the accident. KAI is currently trying to evacuate the Pandalungan train series,” said Public Relations Manager of PT KAI Daop 8 Surabaya Luqman Arif in his statement in Surabaya, Antara, Sunday, January 14. His next effort will be to evacuate a series of trains and repair damaged rail lines. "Further information regarding this incident will be conveyed on the next occasion," he said. Previously, a video circulated on social media regarding the drop in the Pandalungan Train for Gambir - Surabaya - Jember relations on Jaki Jetbus' Instagram account. In the video, a number of officers conduct checks behind the Pandalungan train locomotive carriage. It appears that a number of residents who want to take a closer look are directed to stay away because officers are still carrying out the evacuation process. Apart from this account, another Instagram account with the name Aliqsafrudin recorded the moments of the train dropping which had the carriage number CC2039804.

"Oh, Masyaallah yyapo kae iku (what is it), Astaghfirullah," he said.
