Then&now: Tandjoeng Priok station - 1925 🇮🇩

The Dutch colonial train station of Tanjung Priok, or Tandjoeng Priok back then, can still be admired in all it's Art Deco style. It's the second station at this location, the original 1882 station was demolished after the seaport grew very hard, and a new station was needed to cope with the growth of freight traffic.
