Steam locos at Jatibarang & Banjaratma Sugar Mills, Java

Indonesia - 1983

These two mills were quite close together. At the time of the visit steam at Banjaratma mill was in decline but luckily one their delightful Vulcan Ironworks locos was in action. European manufacturers provided most of the locos for sugar plantation railways so seeing American built locos was quite rare.
