Mrawan railway tunnel

Mrawan railway tunnel is a railway tunnel that located northwest of Mrawan, Sidomulyo, Silo, Jember Regency, East Java. This tunnel was built in 1901–1902 and completed in 1910 by the Staatsspoorwegen, the Dutch East Indies railway company, with a length of 690 m. The Garahan railway tunnel is to the northwest.^[1][2]

The tunnel is located close to Mrawan and the Gumitir tourist area.

This tunnel penetrates Mount Gumitir which borders Jember Regency with Banyuwangi Regency. When this tunnel was built, the first parts to be built were the left and right walls in 1901–1902, then continued with the construction of the railway tunnel's closing arch which took about eight years, until it was completed in 1910.

This railway tunnel is managed by Jember Operations Area IX and guarded by tunnel guard officers (PJTW) based at Mrawan Station, located not far from this tunnel. The name Mrawan comes from the river that flows near the station complex and this tunnel. The architecture of this tunnel is similar to the Sasaksaat railway tunnel in Cipatat, West Bandung Regency.
