Wonolangan had the dubious distinction of being
an all OK mill, a situation compounded by the most interesting locomotive, a
30HP Mallet being long out of use. When I last heard, the fleet was still
present although with the closure of the field lines none will be used again
here.

After we had been to Kedawung on 4th June
1978, Peter
Nettleship and I made our way to Wonolangan. Not a great deal was going
on, OK 0-8-0T #6 was sitting near the shed.

I brought a group here in 1984 and even less
was going on as they had at least one new Japanese diesel. When I returned
on 21st August 1990, it was 'situation normal' for OK 0-8-0T #3.

On 12th July 1997, frankly I was surprised
to find OK 0-8-0T #2 in steam (it was actually #5 in disguise) and since I
had never seen a steam locomotive here move anything except itself, I
persuaded the crew to take a few empties just outside the mill. The tank
sides were still inscribed with 1991's Visit Indonesia Year Rhino, a clear
sign of how much it had worked since then!

On August 9th in the same year,
#3 was in steam and I coaxed this out on to the bridge outside the mill
with a few empties...
