0-8-0 Steam Locomotives in Indonesia

Class D10 (Locobase 4747)

Data from [] . See Indra Krishnamurti at [] for building dates and numbers both of predecessor railways and the Indonesian State Railways. His tables show that two class of 0-8-0 tank locomotives were later designated C10 by the State railways. Engines 301-306 of the Samarang-Joana Stoomtram Mij (Hartmann, 1913) and 201-205 of the Serajoedal Stoomtram Mij (Hartmann, 1914 and 1915 (205)) were combined as a single class, suggesting that they were nearly identical.

Class D15 (Locobase 4751)

Data from dspace.dial.pipex.com/javatour/ambarawa/locos/D1505.htm, a site for the Ambarawa Railway Museum maintained by Rob Dickinson.

Dickinson notes that this used the Klien Lindner lateral-axle movement system. Wikipedia gives a concise summary of the SJS's history:

"To meet the need for urban transportation, the private railway company *Semarang-Joeana Stoomtram Maatschappij* (SJS) began operating a tram service in 1881, connecting Jurnatan (serving as the central station [in the port city of Semarang ]) with Bulu [73.2 km (45.5 miles) to the southwest] and Jomblang. SJS was the first company to utilize tram locomotives on the island of Java.

However, in 1883, SJS began expanding its railway lines eastward toward Mayong, Demak, and eventually Blora. To facilitate the transport of sugar to the Port of Semarang, the SJS railway line was routed through numerous sugar factory areas in the eastern part of Semarang."
