Railway tracks may not be used in any way except for the running of trains. Sure the roads are blocked and all those stuff, but walking on rail lines is beyond stupid.
Because of this "event", trains are either delayed or cancelled.

Sebenarnya sudah ada alat tersebut yang dipasang sebagai pengamanan pada sarana KAI, yang disebut cowhanger (yang dilingkari) yang bertujuan untuk menggiring benda asing keluar dari rel KA.
Cowhanger sirip masih bisa jebol karena entah dari faktor kecepatan atau kerasnya benda.

Perspektif image juga bisa menipu mata jg.
To back up my latest tweet about Indonesian road users being an absolute moron.
They broke the level crossing barrier, drove away, and ran through a red light.

How to solve limited rolling stock:
(satirical)
Step 1: Order trains from INKA
Step 2: Order temporary old trains from Japan
Step 3: See INKA's performance first, if it fails, keep researching for the best result. The trains from Japan will supplement.

#ThrowbackTuesday
Do you remember when the eruption of Mount Kelud caused large amounts of ash to hit Central Java and Yogyakarta in 2014?
Below are several photos of the train lines around Yogyakarta at the time of the incident.
BREAKING NEWS: A train has been derailed at Pademangan, Ancol, this afternoon. The train dtifted away from the designated track at a switch and struck an OHLE line.
More information will come.
Tilting trains that could travel with max speed of 125 mph (200 kph) can't even go that high on that line, the curvature would be too extreme.
Japanese transfer of technology? Ludicrous.
jakarta bandung mestinya cukup pake kereta express kyk ini. speed max 150km. bisa center to center. harga tiket 200rb max. bakal lbh rame. inka bisa transfer teknologi dr jepang. dan paling penting, gak perlu ngutang gede.
he ate the buffer :/
KAI Airlink EA203 EMU crashed into the buffer stop at Soekarno Hatta Airport Station today (14/04).
More information will be provided.
The Trans-Asian Railway plan of 1972. As you can see, the lines that were proposed in Indonesia are the Trans-Sumatran railway and a railferry to Bali.
The new carriages that are being tested today (17/9/23) from Madiun to Kertosono. Seen here the new livery, accordion gangways, and the automatic plug doors.
2014 was the final stop for the illegal passengers. And the non air-conditioned trains as well.
A refurbished "marcopolo" Rheostat EMU filled with "atapers" along with a Tokyo Metro 6000 series.

We could've had this magnificent thing, but MoU never came to a finished product.
Almost every Stadler train has a built-in platform gap filler, making accessibility more widespread on the railway.
BREAKING: Bandung Raya (350) Commuterline train has collided with another train, Turangga (65) today (5/1/24) near Cicalengka station at around 6.00 AM, with CC201 77 17 as the leading unit for Bandung Raya. Both trains derailed.

Leaf and wave mates. Leaf and wave.
2 kinds of Standard Class (Economy) coaches built by INKA in the late 2000s. The left is a non Airco carriage, usually used on local lines, but also used for Intercity trains. These were built in 2008. Commonly known as Nutrisari.
Wrong train mate lmao
The train in the picture is a feeder service train to connect Bandung's city center to KCJB Padalarang station using a DMU made by INKA.
Do you know?
Argo Bromo's (Now Argo Bromo Anggrek) K1 carriages used to have press-button-to-open plug doors on each end of the coaches. This system was later phased out in the mid 2010s, in favour of normal slam-doors.
Is it just me or the new INKA EMU design mixes both European and Asian EMUs?
1. Rubber buffers usually seen on STADLER trains
2. Wide windshield and looks like a Japanese built train
3. Front destination boards that seems European (+ the lights)
4. More Japanese carbody shell
INFO: The Ambarawa Tourist Train has just struck a public angkot near Ambarawa station around this afternoon. As you can hear that the people including the crossing guard already warned the angkot. (22/05/22)
Deep condolences for Mr. Abdul Hamid (Pak Ogah). He died today at 7.30 PM WIB. Pak Abdul Hamid is a puppeteer on the children's show "Si Unyil". He voiced Pak Ogah since the era of TVRI Si Unyil from 1981 until today.
May he rest in peace.
The forgotten tourist train.
"Punakawan" was a tourist train that used to run on the Purwosari-Solokota line before Batara Kresna was a thing. The train don't do well as intended, the service doesn't have the sufficient ridership. The train stopped service in 2010.
Aankomend Station Tandjong Priok.

Funfact, the canopy of this station was built by a steel factory in Surabaya.

Do you enjoy being trampled to death by strangers?
Do you like being pushed around by angry mobs and falling into an oncoming train?
Do you like to wait for 1-2 hours for a train?
Look no further, introducing the Joglo line!
I wonder what Indonesia would be like today if trams still ran, considering we had one of the largest tram networks in the southern hemisphere, both electric and steam traction.
I would love a tram just whizzing around Central Jakarta or rural Ponorogo (yes they did have trams).
BREAKING NEWS: JR 203-2 has been derailed at Manggarai station, the same type as the one that is derailed at Kampung Bandan yesterday.
More info will be provided.
electric bus
A Refurbished Rheostat EMU seen here, using the state-of-the-art bus-style lights as the headlamps for this train, a common habit of any Indonesian rail workshops when refurbishing a multiple unit.
found in my archive, photographer?
It has arrived!
Enjoy your life at the Sawahlunto hills, BB303 78 04! Hope with the success of the new reopened line, helps extend and reopen the rest of the historic lines!
BREAKING: Argo Semeru intercity train has just derailed near Wates, today 17/10/23 at exactly 1.15 PM. Because of this, all trains heading to or from Yogyakarta towards Kutoarjo is cancelled or diverted.
More informations will come.
The West Sumatran Legends
Seen here at Bukit Putus freight yard near the Teluk Bayur Port, 4 engines still in the iconic Perumka livery. Including the now gone BB204.
One of the trains here is the Indarung cement train that shuttles back and forth from Indarung to Bukit Putus.

Misal saja ada kecelakaan di perlintasan tanpa palang yang disalahkan Pemda & KAI
Giliran perlintasan yang sudah ada palang dijaga 24 jam malah nerobos, merusak palang & kabur

Idk about you, but I think BN-Holec EMU is a good train. Just arrived at the wrong place and wrong time.
If BN-Holec came to Jakarta right now, it would be functioning as normal considering we had upgraded the electrification system across the network.
Did you know that Solo's Slamet Riyadi road used to see regular freight traffic?
Back in the era of Perumka, freight is slowly declining over the years. One of them was Pusri Fertilizer Company. The train usually runs at the daytime after the full train came from either..
Best kept station in Daop 6 belongs to Solo Jebres in my opinion.
Everything, and I mean *everything* from the Dutch occupation era is very well kept in this quaint station in front of a traditional market.
It is a temporary solution to this minor problem mate.
Are you sure you don't want your carriage to be taken off the train to the nearest maintenance depot only for just a simple leak with you and other passengers still inside?
Yeah.
If the LRT "fails" down the line, what manufacturers do you choose on building the LRT stock?
Stadler?
Hitachi Rail?
Nippon Sharyo?
Siemens?
Alstom?
CRRC?
or a joint venture?
It's fine to have those old trains, since the ones INKA made isn't perfect and still in development. And what would they say if it broke down? More problems that's it. Comments about how bad trains are, and blah blah other stuff.
Bosnya Hobby impor, meski bekas sekalipun.
.
Padahal PT Inka sanggup menyediakan gerbong KRL pesanan PT KCI pada 2025 mendatang.

Mana industri kita mau maju?

Electric Multiple Unit sekelas JR205 (yang di gambar) braking performancenya lebih bagus ketimbang kereta rel diesel (DMU) atau kereta ditarik lokomotif.
Batu segede gaban yang di rel kereta jg keliatan jelas banget, apalagi kalau jalur rel di gambar lurus.
Yogyakarta Station, before the double tracking of the YK-SLO line, ca 1990s. You can also see that there was only one bridge over Kali Code.

The long gone
A piece of disused rack railway at Bedono - Secang line, seen it's last train in 1976, when the line closed for good.
I visited this place in 2021, it's still there, right under the ground.
Back in the golden age of Indonesian Railway, or Netherlands-Indië as it was called back then, trains are the most economic and fastest way to deliver goods and taking passengers to their destination, with 3 classes of carriages, and various goods to deliver.
Seems like a trip is being arranged (sort of)
A bunch of international tourists took a train trip across the Lubuk Alung - Sawahlunto line to enjoy the stunning views by rail. They disembark the train at Padang Panjang to stretch their legs and watch the engine switching sides.

Iya, kalau batunya bisa lolos dari cowcatcher (bemper merah di depan KRL) terus kena ganjal di roda, bisa saja keretanya anjlok dan memakan korban.
Today the latest KRDE BIAS test was carried out for unit K1 2 21 01 - 04 and K1 2 23 01 - 04 for the Solo Balapan - Sragen route, this is the first time that the ME204 DMU trains ran double unit using the Multiple Unit port.

Calling at: Lempuyangan, and Yogyakarta.
A Prambanan Express commuter train closing into Lempuyangan station, it's next stop. This picture was taken before the double tracking project in 2006.
This morning at 03:56 (30/3), an intercity train (Turangga No. 80) collided with a cattle feed truck at a level crossing on the Sembung - Jombang line. The engine, the front of CC206 13 99, was badly damaged and the front axle derailed.
Wait, do you remember Cianjuran?
Before the end of regional feeder trains was discontinued in 2011-ish, Cianjuran or "Argo Peuyeum" as the locals calls it, is a service connecting Padalarang-Bandung on the now half-abandoned Tagog Apu bypass line.
Semaphore signals is a nightmare for mainlines, you have to keep focusing between things.
It's fine for lines that don't see much traffic or branchlines.
Cuma nanya, duit Rp110,16 triliun kira2 sanggup ganti sinyal mekanik dgn teknologi mutakhir serta percepatan DDT kah, sehingga insiden KA Turangga dgn CL Bandung Raya seharusnya tidak terjadi dan masinis serta kru ttp bisa melanjutkan kehidupan?
