"'Gerbong Maut' or 'death wagon'. GR 10152 was one of the three railway wagons used to transport 100 prisoners of war to Bubutan prison in Surabaya. 46 freedom fighters were asphyxiated due to suffocation and others badly injured."

 

Ijen Boulevard is a two km stretch enclave, once an elite complex during the Dutch colonial era. The spacious street is well tended and landscaped against a backdrop of old colonial buildings.
