The success of private, NV. NISM build railway between Kemijen - Responsibility, which later on February 10, 1870 to connect the city of Semarang - Surakarta (110 Km), eventually encouraging investors to build railway lines in other areas. Not surprisingly, that growth in length of track between 1864 - 1900 had grown with leaps and bounds. In 1867, only 25 Km, 1870 to 110 Km, 405 Km to reach 1880 in 1890 to 1,427 km in 1900 and to 3,338 Km.
