SIDOARJO - The railroad near Porong, Sidoarjo, which has been damaged by the mud flow, is still getting worse. However the track is already seen as critical, it is still used to transport people on the routes with destinations Malang, Pasuruan and Banyuwangi. This piece of track is normally used by 40 trains a day.
The piece of track that connects Surabaya with Malang, Pasuruan and Banyuwangi is located at just 500 meters from the center of the mud flow. The rail there sagged over a length of some 400 meters from the village of Ketapang to Siring. Most of the track here has lagged because the ground below it has given way.
The owner of the track, PT Kereta Api, has already repaired the track several times. The problem of the sagging ground continues to happen and to make the situation worse, seeping water is causing damage to the rail bed as well.
