This May 2023 shot of Maos station in Cilacap regency featured CC206 23 (GE CM20EMP) of Purwokerto depot waiting with a string of fully loaded fuel tank cars. While the train plays the role as fuel supplier for Tegal city in the northern part of Java island through its fuel terminal near Larangan station, but for each loaded train the maximum amount of tank car in one consist is limited to 16 cars due to steep gradient between Purwokerto and Prupuk stations (although not as strict as the ones between Benteng and Malang Kota Lama in East Java, where a consist of 20 tank cars had to be divided into 10 at Bangil before proceeding to Malang Kota Lama, again caused by steep gradient).
Interestingly the fuel terminal at Maos station is located on the former right-of-way of Serajoedal Stoomtram Maatschappij (SDS) between Maos and Purwokerto Timur stations, where the line was forcibly closed and torn off by Imperial Japanese Army during the Pacific Theater of WWII.
