The International Steam Pages


Java - Missing Steam Locomotives

The 1980 list shows about 500 narrow gauge steam locomotives including 4 active on the Cape gauge (1067mm, 3ft 6in). Some had already finished their working lives but the vast majority were recorded at work and are shown here. Inevitably there are gaps because permanent withdrawals were an annual occurrence right from the early days. This page lists those for which I have no photograph. In a few cases, I know they exist but, for various reasons, they are not accessible to me. Some, like Semboro 16 and 20 may long have been history. 

You will note that many in the original list here were accounted for by near identical locomotives at Jatiroto most of which were already out of use by the late 1970s. They appear in the 1980 list. The Krebet locomotives were stored unphotographable in the shed as late as 1986, but were later scrapped. The two Semboro locomotives represent no more than gaps in the roster and were never recorded, the other gaps were 0-4-2T transferred to other mills.  

There is a photograph of Sudhono 5 indicated by "@" in Bergmann's 'Dampflokomotiven der Indonesischen Werkbahnen'.

Offers of suitable photographs should be made to the email address at the bottom of the page.

Many Ngadirejo locomotives were transferred away in the 1970s, particularly to Pesantren (generally well documented). The record of them at their other new homes is blank except for 225 at Cukir. Otherwise, I have no pictures of these locomotives at these homes (217 was also at Pesantren at one stage). It seems that only 219 is totally unrepresented in the collection.
