Another new shots from Indonesia :

1. https://goo.gl/maps/2mGEw7Kytv8VmWvS6

This August 2022 shot of Cibungur station featured local train bound for Purwakarta (possibly the ones that continues all the way to Garut station under different train name) pulled by CC201 26R in its current form, with air conditioning equipment installed on the cab roof. Note that this locomotive is one of 4 units of 1st batch CC201 locomotives that were prepared to be upgraded into 1st batch version of CC204 (which are essentially upgraded CC201 with computer-controlled traction system etc), but for some internal reasons they were removed from the plan and instead only having the engine and traction motors replaced with the newer ones (the other ones are CC201 01R, CC201 14R and CC201 18R).

While the first coach behind locomotive is a dining car with diesel generator for supplying electricity to the whole coaches, the dining room and pantry is not in use due to being deployed as a generator car (though it still has seats available for passengers).

2. https://goo.gl/maps/d6bTys3h76FraHFY6

The September 2022 shot of Purwakarta station featured CC201 100 (3rd batch) of Bandung locomotive depot (same depot with CC201 26R in the 1st post) performing run-around movement, likely for preparing to taking local train back to Cikarang station. Note that the personnel in charge for switching and run-around movement (carrying red flag, special whistle and walkie-talkie) is standing on the long hood end of the locomotive.

Behind the locomotive is the site of former Purwakarta locomotive depot (the place where late grandfather of Mr. Daveric a.k.a "zsuda" worked there when Indonesia was still known as Dutch East Indies), but after it was turned into rolling stock graveyard from 2013 lots of retired coaches and freight cars marked as "to be scrapped" are stacked there. Originally the graveyard itself was simply monitored by security personnels without any fences or walls at all, but due to fire incident occurred a few years ago it has been protected with concrete walls and stronger security measurements.

==================

[BONUS]

This is the shot taken from a small road near the depot of Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Rail's Tegalluar depot on November 2022, featuring one of KCIC400AF series EMU (which is derivative of China Railway CR400AF "Fuxing" series EMU supplied for Indonesia) parked at the track leading to inspection workshops. However, the unit number is unclear, as it was blocked by the presence of temporary fence (which would be eventually replaced by concrete wall).
Despite many controversies related to this project (which I would NOT explain it here to keep the neutrality of this topic and the whole forum, per the rule #14 described in CoC), I hope that the HSR would be capable to relieve traffic congestion on the Purbaleunyi toll road, and it could be extended all the way to Surabaya.
 
If I were over there I would love to have a motor scooter to get around, but I think in a lot of places I would love just to explore on foot! So much to see!
 
Remember that in some cases small roads that follows the rail tracks are simply dirt road, so you have to be careful when exploring with scooter or even car. :hehe:

This September 2022 shot featured an unidentified air-conditioned KRDI series DMU (possibly 3rd batch version procured by Indonesian Railways in 2012), seen here waiting at Indro station in Gresik before returning as local train to Sidoarjo through Surabaya Pasar Turi and Surabaya Gubeng station. This station originally serves as intermediate station for branch line between Kandangan and Sumari through Gresik, as well as the starting point of two industrial branches to Semen Gresik and Petrokimia Gresik. However, the section between Sumari and Gresik was closed by the invading Japanese in 1943, while the remaining section from Gresik to Indro was closed in 1982, leaving only the two industrial branches (which has been permanently closed in February 2010 for branch to Semen Gresik, and 2017 for branch to Petrokimia Gresik).
