Notog railway tunnel is a railway tunnel that located by the south of , located in Notog, Patikraja, Banyumas Regency, Central Java.
There are two railway tunnels: the old, single-track railway tunnel and the new, double-track railway tunnel. Both have building number wisdom (BH) 1440. History Notog single-track railway tunnel (1915-2018) The construction of the Prupuk–Kroya railway line was a new railway line development package undertaken by the Staatsspoorwegen. The 1910s marked the beginning of the construction of this line, as it was part of a plan to connect the line that had reached to at that time. The construction of this line also encountered several obstacles, such as the strong current of the Serayu River and the need for the construction of railway bridges and tunnels, considering that the line was a mountainous route with contours no less extreme than the railway lines in the Greater Bandung area.
The Notog railway tunnel, as indicated by its year, was built in 1915 by the SS, and its single year likely indicates that the tunnel was completed in just a few months. It is 260 meters long and began operations on 1 July 1916, coinciding with the opening of the –Kroya section. Notog double-track railway tunnel (2019-Present) The planned construction of a double-track line between and is part of the Cirebon Prujakan-Kroya double-track line, which will eventually connect to the Central Java double-track line. The tunnel is located next to the existing one and will accommodate two tracks simultaneously. It'll be 476 meters long, was built by the DJKA in collaboration with state-owned enterprise contractors. The state-owned enterprises involved in this project are Indra Karya as the supervising consultant and PT PP as the implementing contractor.
It is hoped that with this new tunnel, train speeds can be increased to approach the maximum speed of Indonesian trains, 120 km/h (75 mph).
After the "switch-over" process on the Purwokerto-Kroya route was completed, the old Notog and Kebasen railway tunnels were officially closed on 15 February 2019 and designated as cultural heritage sites.
