What a Documentary Film for Indonesian Railways. Thaks for sharing the old generation of our steam locomotive, we didn't see what a beautifull they were till you bring this film for us. Thank you Sir, you gimme this amazing film.
0:48 not only that the Vulcano turns everything into grey, it also tampers the water inside boiler of the last living active Mallets that caused many to broke down on route or just inoperatable. This situation only gets worsen with the Modernization still going. And the engine Crew will do anything they can to at least putting one engine moving. And this including cannibalising other engines for spareparts. CC5001 still had CC5019's tender which was borrowed around 1984 after Her original tender was slammed damaged beyond repair by a Diesel. Even to this day in Taman Mini, She's still retaining CC5019's tender. The number plate might says otherwise, but its small details proved it wrong
Filmed in 1983 - the first Panasonic NTSC VHS video camera - it wasn't brilliant, it was heavy, there were dropouts and issues and I had to convert it to PAL at some point, but it is a record of life around 40 years ago.
Very nice video, have seen CC5022 (now numbered back to 1622) in the railway museum in Utrecht several times, but had never seen footage of these locomotives in service. Seems the trains were rather short and light for these powerful locomotives.
Wonderful. I didn't know that in 2001 Garut station emplacement was still intact despite abandoned for almost 20 years. Thank you for the footage, Sir.
9:35 kukira di ujung Sub Dipo Lokomotif Cibatu (yang dekat pos JPL/percabangan arah Garut) ada wesel, ternyata Badug 11:25 Stasiun Garut pasca nonaktif sebelum emplasemen nya dijadikan Pasar Mawar, dan Bangunanya belum jadi Kantor Ormas 11:48 baru tau warna tulisan nama Stasiun Garut itu biru bukan hitam
And...you could visit to Garut again this day. Because line from Cibatu to Garut has been activated again by Indonesian Railway, Co. I hope you'll perform a present documentation of Garut station to see the many changes in there 😁
For additional information, the B51(12) is active, hauling historical train in Ambarawa railway museum today. You could see another newer documentation of local vlogger
Back in those days the diesel locos are more efficient, cheap and easy to maintain than the old steam locos. And also the buses and other automobile are growing so that the steam locos are left behind. But sad, the PJKA is demolished all the steam locos except CC5099 in Ambarawa and Netherland took the other one to museum in Utrecht. 30 years later we miss those old steam engine, which is expensive to revive it as a tourist attraction :(
@@jenasjordan1237 CC5001 on TMII was so fucked lol, also there are some steam locomotive that already alive back aggain like D14 and D52 (D52 are still in progress)
Wonderfull footage of the cc50's garut branch.. Glad to see now the line from cibatu to garut is ready to open again and do several test.. Here to se the new rebuilt Garut Stationru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zA5i7TeTJ8o.html And here some videos of test train in cibatu - garut lineru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IPrbM8lmBxA.html
Its very sad that the fact the steam train Indonesian must almost half of the population is dead and now only a few steam locomotives survive the medium and the small Ambarawa and Padang Mak itam steam train in Borneo Jaladara train but in west Java the legend sigombar or d52 class and CC steam locomotives class is not survive they all dead and stay in museum at taman mini Jakarta and Ambarawa museum station
