Brand New!!

 

These photo gallery is dedicated to those who like to see new things, especially new trains.

I beliave that when everyone sees something new, it will bring a good spirit to them. And when you had a journey onboard a new passenger car, it would feel rather special.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A brand new Harina car is seen in early morning while being cleaned at Bandung station, after arrived from Semarang.

This car was less than one month old when photographed.

A closer view of the car.

Look! No scratches!

The interior view of Harina car. It looks tidy and comfortable, and it even smells like a brand new car

In 2003, Bandung station saw more new trains based on its depot than any other places in Indonesia.

In October 2003, new passenger cars arrived from Indonesian Railway Factory in Madiun, like this passenger car.

I decided to take picture of this car, before anyone started to vandalize this mint looking cars. Like what have they done to the Harina cars, where nowaday, they're looked in poorer condition.

An all new train: CC20341 (the last CC203 built, delivered in 2000) is about to depart for Jakarta, from Bandung, with the brand new Argo Gede cars on its back, against the backdrop of angry clouds.

This photo looked rather blurry, because I took this photo in a rush, because there was a train coming onto me. But when I stood clear from the rail (after I photographed this train), it turned out that they didn't go to this railway line, as it is a terminus line

Just one day old, the 'brand new' CC204 locomotive is seen resting at Bandung locomotive depo, in mid-2003. It was photographed just after its maiden journey from Yogyakarta, on the night before this photo was taken.

At first glance, the loco looked similar with CC201. But there are several differences with CC201, and they're mostly related with ventilation holes arrangement at the engine hood. Perhaps, the easiest way to spot the difference is the presence of the small 'roof', just behind the driver's cab.

The side view of the CC204.

Some equipments in this picture are no longer present today. The most obvious being the sander pipes. Although they're visible in this picture, this loco is currently have no sander pipes, as they were removed within a few months of operation.

The CC20401 is pictured beside an unidentified CC201 (from the last production batch in 1991) at Bandung locomotive depo. Note the rounded edge centre windows and multiple unit receptacle at CC201.

Both of CC204 and CC201 are not just similar. In fact CC204 is actually a rebuilt version of earlier CC201, which featured more advanced equipments than those of CC201.

Note two railfans are seen waching the CC204.

An Indian woman is seen walking to the CC204 locomotive.

Alhough the CC204 program was purely an Indonesian-American cooperation program, there were some Indian involvement in here. They were mostly involved in computer programing.

Also, there was a report that there were some parts of this locomotive that was built India. And this Indian woman was said to be the first person to drive this loco, inside the Yogyakarta Workshop.
