West Sumatra rack
Someone mentioned the other day about the difficulties of recording the action on the West Sumatran rack railway centered on Padang Panjang.
Lack of trains, failures, high light, no light, rain and lineside access to the better locations were all issues to contend with. But it was fun.
In September 1978, one of seven 0-10-0T rack tanks that were serviceable slogs uphill between Kayutanam and Padang Panjang with empty coal hoppers.
