My first visit to Pangka was on 25th April 1977, where I found it had made a very early start to the season. Most of the fleet was on shed early in the morning and each in turn was posed for me. Sometime later Jung 0-6-2T #6 seen here was transferred to Sragi where it worked for a number of years.

This must have been one of the few (maybe only) occasions I ever rode out at Pangka. Later the same morning OK 0-8-0T #10 crosses a small bridge north-west of Slawi on a line which probably made an end on connection with Jatibarang's similarly gauged 600mm system. I was (correctly) much more interested in the residual mainline steam which was going fast at the time, so I jumped off when we crossed the main road and returned to Tegal.

Apart from a change in paint scheme and the quantity of locomotives in steam, this is a morning scene outside the shed which has barely changed in the 25 years since it was taken 20th August 1984. 

Former Jatibarang #3A had become Pangka #4 (the original #4 like #6 had now gone to Sragi) and was caught working a yard train on 19th August 1988. It didn't last much longer.

This slide does not show super-gricer at his brilliant best as I had inadvertently managed to load 200ASA film instead of the regular 64ASA film... However, this rather poor image has improved with a bit of 'Photoshopping' and shows Couillet 0-6-0T #7 substituting for a diesel on the mud train on 26th July 1995.
