The SS 1600 class, later redesignated as the CC50 class, is a 2-6-6-0 articulated Mallet type steam locomotive introduced from 1927-1928 of the Staatsspoorwegen (SS, Netherlands-Indian State Railways[4][better source needed]), later the Indonesian state railways (DKA, PNKA, and PJKA), which was built by Werkspoor and the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works (SLM).
History
editEarlier locomotives of the 2-6-6-0 wheel arrangement on the Staatsspoorwegen (SS) came in the form of the 520 class (later the CC10 class) Mallet tank locomotives of 1904-1911.[5] The SS ordered 16 1600 class Mallet tender locomotives from Werkspoor and 14 from the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works (SLM) between 1927-1928.[6] They worked on steeply graded mountain lines such as the Cibatu-Cikajang-Garut and Purwakarta-Padalarang lines. The 1600s were capable of pulling loads of up to 1,300 tons at a speed of 55 km/hour, and also had good cornering abilities. During the Japanese occupation, the 1600s were redesignated as the CC50s[a], and were referred to as such and saw continued use when the Djawatan Kereta Api (DKA) was established in 1945 to when it was later reorganized as the Perusahaan Jawatan Kereta Api (PJKA) in the 1970s.[7]
The 1600s/CC50s were also allocated at Purwakarta, Cibatu--one of the main allocations for all Indonesian Mallet locomotives, Purwokerto, Ambarawa, and Madiun.
In 1981, CC50 number 22 of Purwokerto was donated by the PJKA to the Dutch Railway Museum, as a symbol of friendship between Indonesia and the Netherlands, and renumbered as 1622, its original number. CC50 number 19 of Purwakarta starred in Kereta Api Terakhir (Last Train), set during the Indonesian War of Independence, also in the same year.
Dieselization of the Indonesian railways meant that the remaining CC50 Mallets on the Cibatu-Garut line had to be retired in 1984. The same year saw the closure of the line.
Preservation
editCC50s nos. CC5001, CC5022, and CC5029 are preserved as of today. CC5001 is at the Taman Mini Transportation Museum in Jakarta.[8] Before being taken to Taman Mini for preservation, CC5001 first obtained components that were cannibalized from other CC50s, namely the tender from CC5019.[citation needed] CC5022 is in the Dutch Railway Museum[8], and CC5029 is in the Indonesian Railway Museum at Ambarawa.[8]

Notes
edit- ^ When the Japanese occupation forces took control of the railways in the Dutch East Indies, most of the locomotives were reclassified along the Japanese wheel arrangement classification scheme.
