Sindanglaut is the first mill east of Cirebon, it
stuck with steam in the fields well into the 21st century but there is no longer
any steam activity here.

Sindanglaut locomotives were traditionally
green, but for just one year they were painted a garish orange (and
renumbered to confuse the unwary visitor). Jung 0-6-0T #4 (actually #1!)
was employed to work the ash train just outside the mill on 24th August
1996.

The regular yard pilot was
Borsig 0-8-0T #6 (normally #7), it was photographed brewing up one evening
in late July 1996.

The two OK 0-8-0T #12 and #13
kept their old numbers. Here they wait to work a long train back to the mill as
the sun goes down on 26th July 1996; as normal actual departure was just a
little too late for conventional photography. The following season saw
both original numbers and livery restored.

Sindanglaut was a profoundly
frustrating mill for action photography and this counts as yet another
glorious failure with Gunung Cireme watching over OK 0-8-0T #12 on 25th
July 1994 as the setting sun vanishes behind the clouds.

OK 0-8-0T #13 gets attention as
it prepares to work an early evening train back to the mill on 25th August
1994.
