Above: NIS 0-4-2 on bridge.

Below: The origin of this locomotive, supposedly outside the NIS HQ, is uncertain. NIS 4 was a standard gauge 0-4-2T, the 3 0-4-0Ts having numbers 7, 8 & 9. SCS 4 was an 0-4-0T ex-JSM 4 but was 3' 6" gauge. When sold to the SJS it became their 94. I have been told that this building is actually the Bataafsche Petroleum Maatschappij building in Balikpapan and this locomotive belongs to them, so therefore has nothing to do with NIS. I will leave the picture here for now as I would like more information on this locomotive, which could have been built by Ducroo and Brauns or similar company.

The story behind this picture is that the loco on the left is NIS 1 from Borsig in 1864. The other loco appears to be an NIS 0-4-2, first built 1869. The location is not stated but suggested by some as Kediri or Pare which were nowhere near the standard gauge network. The 0-4-2T locomotives (2 from Borsig and 4 from Beyer Peacock) were for working the line from Kedingjati to Ambarawa which was at a gradient of 2.8%, about 1:36.

The Dutch East Indies Railway Company, NIS or sometimes NISM, is a railway in the former Dutch East Indies.

The company was founded on August 27, 1863, because they had obtained a concession from the Governor General of the Dutch East Indies on August 28, 1862 for the route Semarang-Yogyakarta.

History
From about 1830, the town of Semarang began to play a greater role in exports. This was partly due to the introduction of the Cultivation System, partly through the end of the Java War. So there were products from the residence along the north coast of Central Java that were in Dutch hands for so long, but also from the newly created residences in the south of Central Java. Also, there were products from the Principalities where many (Indo-) European land tenants had settled. The improved position of Semarang was exacerbated by the construction of the first railway line.

The striking Headquarters building, nicknamed "the house with 1000 doors" (Lawang Sewu), dates from 1902 and was located in Semarang. This building was restored in 2009. In the Netherlands they also had an office in The Hague (now the South African Embassy).

On 7 June 1864, Governor General Baron Sloet van den Beele initiated the first railway line in Indonesia in Kemijen village, Semarang, Central Java. It was built to Standard Gauge ( 4' 8½", 1435mm) and opened on 10 August 1867 in Central Java from Semarang station south-east to Tanggung, a distance of 25 kms. By 21 May 1873, the line had been extended via Kedungjati and Gundih to Solo (Surakarta) in Central Java and thence to Yogyakarta, a distance of 205kms. The Kedungjati branch to Willem I opened the same year. In the 1890s the NIS also started to build 3' 6" gauge tramways between Semerang and Surabaya and eventually these were all connected together to provide a northern through route between those two cities by 1912. This line followed the route Semarang - Gambringan - Tjepu - Bojonegoro - Babat - Soerabaya. A fleet of 4-6-0 locomotives was obtained to run fast services on this line, these being  10 from Beyer Peacock in 1912 (became PJKA C51 class) and 20 from Werkspoor, Henschel and Beyer Peacock between 1918 and 1922 (allocated PNKA class C52 but none were returned after WWII). These were for use on the Semerang - Surabaya services. In 1913 the NIS took over the 3' 6" gauge 56 kms line from Batavia (Jakarta) to Buitenzorg (Bogor), which had been opened in 1873 by the Batavia-Buitenzorg Spoorweg Maatschappij (BBzSM). This remained isolated from the rest of the NIS system, being connected to the SS at either end. When the SS had opened its lines from Bogor to Yogyakarta and Surakarta to Surabaya the passengers had to change to NIS trains between Yogyakarta and Surakarta until 1899 when a third rail was laid to allow through running by SS trains. Meanwhile, on the northern route between Batavia and Surabaya was being opened up by the SS, SCS and NIS to permit through running. The SCS had built tramways between Cirebon and Semarang and these were all joined up and upgraded for heavier and faster trains by about 1912. The NIS was building its own 3' 6" gauge lines in central Java as was the SJS The NIS were also adding a third rail to more parts of its standard gauge system to permit through running and freight interchange. This rendered the standard gauge virtually obsolete and many locomotives were placed into store in 1929. By 1940 what was left was rusting away at Lempuangan, Yogyakarta.

This situation then remained unchanged until the Japanese invasion in 1942 followed by the uprising after WWII and virtual civil war. The Japanese had  converted the mixed gauge lines to 3' 6" gauge, and renumbered the locomotive stock into a single series. They then shipped many locomotives to Malaya and used others to build new lines. After all the hostilities were over a new Indonesian administration was formed and the Japanese numbering system was adopted but modified by the addition of missing zeroes, ie C52.1 would have become C5201 had it not been scrapped in Singapore in 1947.

Above: RSR (Thailand) 756. ex C52.17 and NIS 397 stored at Makkasan, Bangkok. It is now reported preserved at the Army Engineering Museum, Ratchaburi, Thailand

Reports elsewhere that the Japanese had shipped all the standard gauge locomotives and rolling stock off to Manchuria where it all subsequently vanished without trace would appear to be in error as most of it had been out of use for many years. All the Japanese took was the unused third rail.

Supervision of the construction of railways was largely in the hands of Dutch experts, while the construction was carried out by the local population.

They transported both passengers and goods. In 1928, they carried 13.8 million passengers.

The first workshop was established in Semarang and was moved around 1915 to Yogyakarta. A small workshop was in Cepu, presumable to cater for the numerous 3' 6" locomotives in that area..

Above: A 1922 map of Semarang showing the tram lines and main lines as realigned in the previous decade to permit through running from the SCS system to the NIS dual gauge lines and on to the NIS cape gauge lines to Surabaya via Cepu.

C Another 1922 map showing the new line from Gambringan to the NIS station at Tawang and on to the SCS line to Cirebon, providing the final through conection to Soerabaja. Although shown as two separate lines it is possible that it was actually dual gauge between Mrangen and Semarang. A photograph from this section would clarify this. Google maps shows the lines still extant and in use with the two tracks joining at Stasiun Brumbung, Mranggen, abut 12 kms SE of Tawang.

Above: Standard gauge 0-4-2 at Samarang Tawang when it was a terminus and had the old spelling used in the 1800s

Below: 3 pictures of the same 0-4-2 posing on a bridge with its train, folled by a fast 0-4-2 crossing a sugar cane line.

Above & below: An NIS tank locomotive at the Bantool Sugar Factory, Djogdjakarta. Probably an 0-6-0T as the only 4 coupled locos were 0-4-2T or 0-4-0T. A pity the number plate is almost obscured.

Above: 0-6-0SkT 254, later PJKA 1603, now preserved, poses on a bridge over the Kali Kuwas.

Below: 2-6-2T 272, later PJKA C2402, poses on a bridge, possibly on the Magelang branch.

Above: 0-4-2SkT 311, later PJKA B2206, with a local train at Cepu.

Below: The same locomotive in different circumstances following an accident. The position of some damaged wagons ahead of it suggests it may have been struck by another train entering the loop after fouling the points.

Above: 0-4-2T 318, later PJKA B2213.

Below: 0-6-0SkT, possibly PJKA C17 class with a roadside tram.
