The Semarang Tawang–Brumbung–Surabaya Pasar Turi railway (Indonesian: Jalur kereta api Semarang Tawang–Brumbung–Surabaya Pasarturi) is a railway line that connects Semarang Tawang and Surabaya Pasarturi that opened in 1867 for Semarang Tawang-Brumbung, and continued to Surabaya Pasar Turi in 1924. This route crosses on province with 6 regencies or cities, namely Semarang, Bojonegoro, Lamongan Regency, Lamongan, Gresik Regency, and Surabaya.
This lines as the busiest intercity between Jakarta and Surabaya via northern corridor railway.
Collectively, the Semarang-Surabaya railway line was paused with the Brumbung, then continued to Surabaya in 1922. This line is included in Operation Area IV Semarang on the Gundih–Padangan segment, and Operation Area VIII Surabaya on the Tobo–Surabaya Pasarturi segment. KAI Commuter operates trains on the Cepu–Surabaya Pasarturi.
This line connects Jakarta and West Java with Central Java and East Java. However, the main route from Bandung to Surabaya is the southern route of Java Island via Yogyakarta. The entire railway line was built by the Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij (NIS) as part of its railway line development project after the success of the Semarang–Vorstenlanden railway line. This line was built by the Class I Railway Engineering Center in Semarang on the Brumbung–Cepu segment and Surabaya on the Padangan–Surabaya Pasarturi segment.
