PT KA set to revive Padang-Sawahlunto railway line
Syofiardi Bachyul Jb ,  THE JAKARTA POST ,  PADANG   |  Fri, 01/16/2009 4:39 
PM  |  The Archipelago 
State railway company PT Kereta Api will soon operate an excursion train 
serving Padang city to Sawahlunto in West Sumatra, passing through six 
regencies and offering beautiful sights along the 150-kilometer railway line. 
KA West Sumatra Regional Division spokesman Syafrial Romeo said the train 
service was slated to be launched in February with package tours but no regular 
service. It is expected to serve domestic and foreign tourists in groups. 
"We are still waiting for West Sumatra Governor Gamawan Fauzi to discuss the 
plan with the heads of regencies," he said Tuesday. 
The train service is scheduled to leave the Simpang Haru station in Padang and 
travel by tourist sites such as the Lembah Anai valley and its waterfall, 
across a 101-meter long and 19-meter high bridge, and 19-kilometer around Lake 
Singkarak. 
One of the line's unique features is a 33.8-kilometer cog railway track in 
Lembah Anai, purported to be one of only two in the world. 
"A special locomotive is needed to pass along the cog, or rack railway, and for 
that we will operate the BB204 diesel locomotive," said Syafrial. 
KA will also revive the Sawahlunto-Muaro Kalaban short route by operating the 
E1060 steam locomotive which was returned last month from Ambarawa, Central 
Java. Only five units of the vintage E1060 locomotive were made in Germany, 
specially for the route. 
On Thursday, the regional division head, Husein Nurroni said that in addition 
to the Padang-Sawah-lunto route, the company also plans to open short routes to 
Muara Kalaban, Silungkang and Singkarak Lake using the diesel locomotive. 
He also said Vice President Jusuf Kalla is expected to officially open the 
tourism routes late January or early February. 
Syafrial said KA had completed repairs on the Padang-Sawahlunto line using Rp 
6.7 billion (US$600,000) of funds provided by the Transportation Ministry and 
Rp 500 million from the provincial budget, much of which was used to restore 
bridges and railway sleepers. 
The Teluk Bayur-Padang-Sawah-lunto railway line was constructed by the Dutch 
colonial administration in 1881 to transport coal from Sawahlunto to the Teluk 
Bayur Port. The line stopped serving passengers in 1980 and coal consignments 
were halted in 2003. 
The West Sumatra provincial administration and a number of municipalities and 
regencies along the length of the line, as well as KA, are committed to 
reviving the train service for tourism. The idea of reviving the train service 
was spearheaded by the West Sumatra Train Lovers Community and aficionados of 
Mak Itam, literally meaning black uncle (a term coined for steam locomotive in 
Minangkabau language).
