This is the view from the location just beside Medan Station of Medan City (North Sumatra province), with the locomotive in the background is presumed to be CC201 series locomotive #CC201 70 (2010-style number: CC201 83 32, formerly allocated to Java division but transferred to North Sumatra division following the introduction of CC206 series locomotives in Java between 2013 and 2015). The preserved steam locomotive on the foreground is 2-6-4T #38 of former Deli Spoorweg Maatschappij (DSM), which ironically all of ex-DSM steam locomotives inherited by Indonesian Railways were not receiving Japanese-style numbering (introduced in 1942 by Imperial Japanese Army to replace Dutch-style numbering) at all, hence its original DSM number was retained until its retirement in period between late 1970s and early 1980s.
[History Trivia] During its existence before World War II, the Deli Spoorweg Maatschappij or DSM was known as one of railway company in the Dutch East Indies period of Indonesia that never purchased tender locomotives at all, as the size of the rail network owned by DSM does not require the presence of tender locomotive in its operation. Tender locomotives were later showed its presence in North Sumatra division of Indonesian Railways only after 8 units of C54 series locomotives of former Semarang-Cheribon Stoomtram Maatschappij (SCS) were transferred from Java division to North Sumatra division sometimes before 1960s.
