0-4-4-2Ts were the first-generation mallets used by Indonesia since the colonial period in late 19th to early 20th century, when Staatsspoorwegen (the state railway company of the Dutch East Indies) ordered 12 units from Hartmann and 4 from Schwartzkopff in 1899–1908, classified as SS Class 500 (501–516) for use on mountain lines in West Java. These locomotives worked mixed trains that transported plantation crops and passengers on the Buitenzorg–Bandung line which opened in 1884. [1] These oil-burned engine had power output of 465 hp (347 kW), which was more powerful and suitable for running the winding mountain terrain with ease compared to older SS locomotives the 2-6-0T (SS Class 300 or DKA C11 and SS Class 400 or DKA C12) which are smaller and slower in size and engine power. The SS 500s were also worked at Rangkasbitung and Banjar. Of the 16 built, only BB10 12 (ex-SS 512) is preserved.
The SS Class 500 was 10.5 m (34 ft 5 in) long with 1,050 mm (3 ft 5 in) diameter wheels and a weight of 44.1 MT ST[ convert: unknown unit ]. It had a maximum speed of 50 km/h (31 mph). During Japanese occupation in 1942, these locomotives were renumbered to BB10 and used on Saketi–Bayah railway construction which was used as Japanese war effort for coal transports to the southern coast of West Java as from coal mining in Cikotok. [2] This line was also known as "Death Railway" due to its construction using Japanese PoWs and local residents which were known as romusha or force laborers. [3] One of the BB10 (number 05) was used on Indonesian movie titled "Lebak Membara" (1982) produced by Sabirin Kasdani which tells the story about Indonesian fighters during the Japanese occupation. The last mallets were built for Indonesian Railway (DKA) were 4 units of Type BB1n4v by Nippon Sharyo or known as BB80 class (81–84) came in 1962 for narrow gauge (750 mm) railway line in Aceh. The line itself was built in 1876–1917 by Atjeh Tram which was a part of Staatsspoowegen tram division. The BB80s becoming the last Mallets built in the world and the only mallets that were manufactured in Asia. From 4 of them only BB84 is preserved as static display in Banda Aceh.
A Mallet locomotive is a type of compound articulated steam locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (1837–1919).
0-6-0 is the Whyte notation designation for steam locomotives with a wheel arrangement of no leading wheels, six powered and coupled driving wheels on three axles, and no trailing wheels. Historically, this was the most common wheel arrangement used on both tender and tank locomotives in versions with both inside and outside cylinders.
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of locomotives, 4-6-4 represents the wheel arrangement of four leading wheels, six powered and coupled driving wheels and four trailing wheels. In France where the type was first used, it is known as the Baltic while it became known as the Hudson in most of North America.
4-4-0, in the Whyte notation, denotes a steam locomotive with a wheel arrangement of four leading wheels on two axles, four powered and coupled driving wheels on two axles, and no trailing wheels.
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 2-8-0 represents the wheel arrangement of two leading wheels on one axle, usually in a leading truck, eight powered and coupled driving wheels on four axles, and no trailing wheels. In the United States and elsewhere, this wheel arrangement is commonly known as a Consolidation, after the Lehigh and Mahanoy Railroad’s Consolidation, the name of the first 2-8-0.
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 2-8-2 represents the wheel arrangement of two leading wheels on one axle, usually in a leading truck, eight powered and coupled driving wheels on four axles and two trailing wheels on one axle, usually in a trailing truck. This configuration of steam locomotive is most often referred to as a Mikado, frequently shortened to Mike.
In the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, a 2-8-8-0 is a locomotive with a two-wheel leading truck, two sets of eight driving wheels, and no trailing truck.
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 2-6-2 represents the wheel arrangement of two leading wheels, six coupled driving wheels and two trailing wheels. This arrangement is commonly called a Prairie.
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 0-6-2 represents the wheel arrangement of no leading wheels, six powered and coupled driving wheels on three axles and two trailing wheels on one axle.
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, 2-6-6-0 is a locomotive with one pair of unpowered leading wheels, followed by two sets of three pairs of powered driving wheels and no trailing wheels. The wheel arrangement was principally used on Mallet-type articulated locomotives. Some tank locomotive examples were also built, for which various suffixes to indicate the type of tank would be added to the wheel arrangement, for example 2-6-6-0T for an engine with side-tanks.
The majority of Indonesia's railways are on Java, used for both passenger and freight transport. There are three noncontinuous railway networks in Sumatra while two new networks are being developed in Kalimantan and Sulawesi. Indonesia has finalized its plan for a national railway network recently. According to the plan, 3,200 km of train tracks will crisscross the islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi. It has been touted as the most extensive railway project in Indonesia since its independence from the Dutch in 1945. Indonesia targets to extend the national railway network to 10,524 kilometres by 2030. As of September 2022, the network spans 7,032 km.
PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) (lit. 'Indonesian Railways (State-owned) Limited', abbreviated as PT KAI or simply KAI) is a major railway operator in Indonesia and one of the public railway companies in the country. It is state-owned and pays track access charges. Its headquarters are located in Bandung, West Java. In 2019, KAI carried 429 million passengers and 47.2 million tonnes of cargo.
Berliner Maschinenbau AG was a German manufacturer of locomotives.
A triplex locomotive was a steam locomotive that divided the driving force on its wheels by using three pairs of cylinders to drive three sets of driving wheels. Any such locomotive will inevitably be articulated. All triplex locomotives built were of the Mallet type, but with an extra set of driving wheels under the tender. The concept was extended to locomotives with four, five or six sets of drive wheels. However, these locomotives were never built, except for one quadruplex locomotive in Belgium.
The Ambarawa Railway Museum is a museum located in Ambarawa in Central Java, Indonesia. The museum preserves around 21 steam locomotives and focuses on tourism train tours hauled by 3 operational steam engines and a hydraulic diesel engine, using the remains of the closing of the 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) railway line.
PT Industri Kereta Api (Persero), abbreviated as INKA, is an Indonesian state-owned rolling stock manufacturer.
The South African Railways Class MC 2-6-6-0 of 1912 was a steam locomotive.
The South African Railways Class MG 2-6-6-2 of 1911 was a steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in Transvaal.
The Pasoeroean Stoomtram Maatschappij, N.V. was a private tramway in Pasuruan on the Dutch East Indies. It served passenger transport as well as goods transport of agricultural products such as sugarcane, tea and tobacco.
