The accident happened about 500 metres from Cicalengka train station in West Java province, said Ayep Hanapi, a spokesperson for PT Kereta Api Indonesia, the national railways.
He said the Turangga express train carrying 287 passengers was travelling from Surabaya, the capital of East Java province, when it ploughed into a Bandung Raya commuter train with 191 passengers heading to Padalarang from Cicalengka station at about 6.30am (local time) on Friday.
"All passengers of the two crashed trains have been evacuated safely," Mr Hanapi said, adding that 28 people were injured.
He said 22 of them were being treated at a hospital, mostly with head injuries.
