The public railway company Staatsspoorwegen built the line in 1899 as part of the Western railways (Dutch: Westerlijnen) in order to improve connections with the western regions of the island of Java.

On 2 January 1899 the first part of the Jakarta Kota-Anyer Kidul mainline was opened between Batavia Zuid (Jakarta Kota) and Tangerang. After completing the railway in the following year, the line between Duri and Tangerang remained as a mere branch line.^[1]

The entire railway is currently electrified with 1.5 kV DC overhead lines, accommodating the electric commuter trains of KA Commuter Jabodetabek's Brown line. An additional track was added in 2012, resulting in a double track along the entire stretch between Tangerang and Duri.

In order to connect Jakarta's main airport to the railway network, a line branching off at Batu Ceper railway station was being constructed and began operation in 2018.^[2]
