The Last Train


KRL: Kereta Rel Listrik/Commuter Line/An Indonesian Electric Train System

I told by my cousin, back in 2013, someone hurriedly ran Bogor station to get the last train. But at Bogor station he was told by officers that the train service had ended. From outside the station he saw that there was still a train waiting to be departed on a platform, other officers also saw the train. Eventually he was allowed to buy a ticket and get on that last train.

On the train at that time there was only him alone, all the way. Not feeling anything strange, he stayed in his position until he arrived at Manggarai station. But one thing, in the train there was quite cold, not as usual. He already tired so he ignored it. When he arrived at Manggarai station, the station was very dark and locked so he could not leave the station. Having no other choice, he ended up sleeping on the station platform.

In the morning, a hawkers woke him up (when there were still many street traders and buskers in KRL) and asked why he was here. He just explained the situation and the hawkers replied,

“There are no trains after the station closes, also last night I was told by someone that someone was walking on the rail tracks from somewhere to Manggarai.”
