At its inception and began operational, Leuwigoong was classified as a "Halte" or "Railway halt" a classification for small stations during the Dutch East Indies era. A map published in 1944 shows a turning lane and the notation "Leuwigoong halt", indicating that Leuwigoong was previously a small station.[1] This is also reinforced by the 1908 map at that time from the Dutch East Indies.[2]
