Steam locomotives
 |
The B2503 is one of the last operating steam locomotives on the Indonesian Railroad. It is now used along its sister, the B2502, and a larger rack locomotive, the E1060, on the Ambarawa tourist line. |
 |
The E1060 in Ambarawa, a long way
from its home in West Sumatra. It was taken to Ambarawa, repaired and made
operable again in 1997, but it is not possible to run the locomotive on
the rack line. |
Diesel locomotives
 |
C30011 in the Transportation Museum in Jakarta. |
 |
D30115, a Krupp-built switcher used
for light switching and local runs from Solo to Wonogiri, photographed in
the Solo Balapan depot. |
 |
The BB200 class was introduced in
1957 for the lighter lines in the north coast of Java. It is now still
used for economy class passenger, freight and mixed trains. BB20021 is
photographed in the Solo Balapan depot. |
 |
The BB20033 is pictured in 1997,
doing some switching in Solo Balapan yard, before continuing to Semarang
with a train of freight containers (COFCs). |
 |
The BB20107 resting between
assignments in Solo Balapan freight yard. The Purwokerto-based locomotive
served in freight work on the south line between Purwokerto and
Solo. |
 |
BB20326 with a Solo-Semarang mixed
train in Gundih station. The BB203s are similar to the CC201s,
but they are A1A-A1As instead of Co-Cos. |
 |
BB30129 with the Kahuripan,
an economy class train from Bandung to Kediri, in Solo Balapan
station. |
 |
The BB30134 hauling a freight train
loaded with fertilizer east of Solo. The locomotive has the modern style
cowcatcher. Compare it to the older style on the BB30129. |
 |
The trains from Jakarta to
Rangkasbitung and Merak are usually hauled by BB303 or BB306s, like the
BB30311 pictured in Jakarta Kota station. Note the anticlimber plates
along the hood. |
 |
BB30608 passed Gambir station in Jakarta with a dining car bound for Kota. Note the anticlimber plates around the hood, like those on BB30311. |
 |
The CC200s are the first diesel
locomotives in Indonesia, built by GE in 1953/4. The CC20015 was pictured
after more than 40 years, in Cirebon depot, still in use for local mixed
trains to Cikampek. |
 |
CC20137, from the first batch of
the CC201s, on the head of a freight train in Solo Balapan freight yard.
These early CC201s have larger radiator air intakes than the later ones,
and they have no multiple unit capability. |
 |
The Parahyangan express, the
descendant of the Vlugge Vier, over a steel trestle in the Priangan
mountains, near Sasaksaat. |
 |
CC20304 with the Senja Utama
Solo speeding near Prambanan, 25 miles (40 km) west of Solo. The train
was pictured at about 08.00, though it should have arrived at Solo at
05.29! Punctuality is still a problem on the Indonesian Railroad,
especially on the lesser trains. |
 |
CC20322, pictured on the track
between Solo Balapan depot and the passenger station, before coupling to
the Argo Lawu coaches it will pull to
Jakarta. |
Railcars
 |
Three generations of electric
railcars in Bogor station. From right to left, the 1986 batch Japanese
stainless steel bodied railcars, the 1996 Dutch-designed locally built
railcars, and the earlier Japanese built railcars. To the far left, almost
out of sight, are the express railcars modified from the Japanese-built
sets. |
