Mrawan railway tunnel is a railway tunnel that located northwest of Mrawan, Sidomulyo, Silo, Jember Regency, East Java.

History
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.
Manager
