Oost Java Stoomtram Maatschappij

In the Dutch East Indies the SJS, OJS, SDS and SCS were independent companies. However, in the Netherlands there was one joint management. Moreover there were a number of identical regulations concerning the four companies, viz. regulations for the management, instruction for their joint general agent in the Dutch East Indies, rules for the personnel (the personnel could inter alia be transferred from one company to another), technical regulations concerning the department of civil engineering, regulations for the maintenance of rolling stock and to secure the rights to the ground.

First section opened in 1889 with extensions until 1924 when the overall length was 36 kms.
