CC200 is being started in front of Cirebon locomotive depo.

Note the thick black smoke which is typical of Alco engine.

Everything is set for the departure for the excursion train.

CC200 loco is being pulled away from the locomotive depo. This photo was actually taken before the engine was being started.

Throughout the journey, our train passed several express trains, like this "Cirebon Express" from Jakarta.

The green ricefield in the background is one among a few ricefield on the trackside which is still in fertile condition. The rest were dry and barren, like a dessert.

This photo shows the different trend of American locomotives design.

Although both came from the same factory (General Electric), CC200 (left) has a carbody design which was popular in early 1950s (because passenger train was still popular in America at around that time), but twenty years later passenger train became unpopular in America, and most of the new locomotives were designed as 'hood' locomotive (like CC201 on the right), more suited for freight works.

Strangely, the hood locomotive in this picture were used for express passenger train.

The guys from Indonesian Railway Preservation Society (IRPS) were seen on the cab of CC200 loco.

Inside the cab, behind the window, is Mr. Budi Sofyan, head of Jakarta division of IRPS. Whereas on the door, is Mr. Widoyoko, the chairman of Indonesian Railway Preservation Society.

The author is posing in CC200's door, before the train is heading back to Cirebon.

In the background is Pabuaran Station.

CC200 is ready to depart from Pabuaran station with a dining car on tow.

The dining car was provided for those who unwilling to ride on CC200's cab.

CC200 is seen running light engine at Pabuaran Station.

It was being turned around.

The builder plate of CC20015.

Such item are nowaday rare. And it is a miracle if we can find such plate remains intact after 50 years, because it is common that the newer locomotive (even on CC203) have had its builder plate removed or stolen.
