Java Mill Tour 1998
This is a light edit of the 1998 Java Sugar Mill Tour led by Rob Dickinson and assisted by TC (Tjeng Chiao). I have organised this from West to East as that was roughly the direction the tour took.
The footage includes some mill now closed, some that had steam-worked field lines at the time, some that have given up railways entirely and some that are now 100% diesel.
Now that steam remains in daily use during the season at only 3 mills (and two of these are fireless steam operations), this footage shows a much more steamy Java with lots of variety.
The footage will appear in chunks of around 30 minutes which should make for some good extended viewing. I won’t prepare a specific description on each part but will add titles to show the mills being shown.
If you would like to check out the locos you are seeing at the various mills, please go to Rob Dickinson’s International Working Steam pages and download his list of sugar mill steam locos www.internation...
