Christmas and New Year Come, The Inspection Begin

Well, hello readers, Assalamualaikum Warrahmatullahi Wabarakatuh...

I'm terribly sorry i'm not make a new post for many days, maybe months...because i'm busy with my thesis work, so in this special night, i would like to write my latest railway photo-hunting (20/12), this moment has always repeated every single big religious celebration like Ied-el Fitr or Christmas in Indonesia, yup, you name it, an inspection train.

I think its very special moment for every railways enthusiast in Indonesia to see or capturing it with their gadget, although its always run at a specific moment like inspecting a new rail line, old line upgrade or to inspect the preparation of railways facility during peek season, so without further i do, here's the photo...and other train during the hunt...

At Singosari Enter Signal Curve
Well, i forgot to tell you about the name and what number of this train, well, at this particular moment, the train that runs this Christmas New Year Inspection is Wijayakusuma and Railone, a DMU that has been modified by Indonesian State Railways workshop in Pengok in 1980's (correct me if i wrong, i a bit forget when its get modified) and the time table number (Gapeka) is KLB KP/10992 which runs from Kertosono to Surabaya Gubeng station via Malang, its an hour late on the schedule, but its speeding up after it reach Malang, and here's the picture.

And after this photo is taken, the rains fall, and its time to move to the other spot. The Kampung Sugih Bridge and Rice Fields.

At this spot, there's no special about it, especially the train that passing this photo-spot, usually, but things are about getting different.

KA 46 Bima (Malang-Sb.Gubeng-Jakarta Gambir) with CC206 13 31 YK locomotive

Yups, at that day, a facultative schedule oil train was running, and it is something a bit special because up to this day after 2016, the oil train schedule is uncertain, sometime we must wait until Maghrib edzan to see its running.

KLB D8/10106 Oil Train from Malang Kotalama to benteng Station in Surabaya, with a jumbo sized tank was pulled by CC206 13 50 SDT locomotive

Okay, okay, some of you guys hate the CC206 locomotive due to its ugliness and mid-range performance with heavy schedule, but its all that i've got. And while we waiting for the next train to come, there's a Sriwijaya Air B737-800 NG flew upon us, and since i'm using a tele-lens, i can capture it while its climbing...so here it is..

Just take off from Abdulrachman Saleh Airport of Malang, and its heading to Jakarta Soekarno Hatta International Airport

And there's no train passing after we capturing the aircraft, so we move to other spot, to take the next train, the Tawang Alun Train from Banyuwangi

The Balearjosari Roller Coaster Track
Same to the title, at this photo spot we can see the train actually climbing like a roller coaster, but we must be careful to choose a spot to take the picture, if not, it would be flat looked, and here's a photo that i think it works...but by the way, the Train it self was not on schedule because the train hit a truck somewhere in Jember regency while its on the way.

KA 208 Tawang Alun train from Banyuwangi Baru station with CC201 92 11 JR locomotive climbing towards Blimbing that this train would pass while heading to Malang Kotalama

So thats all for the photohunting, once again, MERRY CHRISTMAS FOR ALL OF YOU GUYS!

Wallahul Muwafik Illa Aqwamith Thariq, Wassalamualaikum Warrahmatullahi Wabarakatuh...

GOD BLESS YOU ALL :)
