[HISTORIC CORNER]
This video tolds us about the classical Prairie-type C24 series tank locomotive (former NIS 270 series) that was specially designed to haul any kind of trains at both flat and mountainous region. In fact, C24 is the only non-rack rail steam locomotive of NIS that was capable to haul trains at rack rail section of Ambarawa Line (outside the rack rail-enabled B25 a.k.a NIS 230 series), though the locomotive was only capable to haul 8 cars at its max power when climbing the rack rail section. Luckily C2407 (NIS 277) was successfully preserved at Ambarawa Rail Museum, and this year C2407 is now 114 year old, since the locomotive started its career in year 1908.
