The station does not serve passenger transportation, but only functions as a storage area for boilers from the High Speed Diesel refueling station in the port area, as well as serving fuel shipments to Malang and Madiun.[3]
The name "Benteng" began to be formally established in January 1950 based on the Buku Djarak untuk Djawa dan Madura.[4]
