The coconut trees tropical background with this nice little green locomotive is so scenic.

I'm actual Indonesian here, and also live in java, but nowhere near those sugar mills who had narrow gauge train, most of sugar mills train now replaced with diesel locomotive, the steam locomotive is still use but it to often have breakdowns due to their age, the rail was buried in soil when is not harvesting seasons, yes these train are operational on harvesting seasons, some of the railways goes through someone else front yard, lastly train sometimes derails, and we still use wood and soil to rerailing them.


Try to understand my English, since i wasn't good enough on it.

That first one, N°4, driving along, smoking a cigarette, fantastic.
Thanks mate and thumbs up.

[AAKAYENTERPRISES]

I'm so happy the locomotives are still alive.
Thanks for the superb video.

[BagusWidyanto_HappyIn]

It's incredible that you have captured many narrow gauge sugarcane trains in Java.
I used to ran tours in pre-pandemic era where I took railway enthusiasts from around the world to see those steam engines in Java.
I may restart my tour program next year.

I wish there was a way to let these engineers and firemen just how much they are appreciated. You run these old beasts with little outside maintenance help like they are brand new off the factory. The work done is critical to these smaller rural communities.

Great content! Bless. Steam power has a place. I am fascinated by the working-capital established generations past still serving the community. Worn, in need of parts, and wasting resources - but - serving the community. meeting a need. Thank you.

I grew up in sugar cane country in South La. Although things have improved greatly since I was a child, mills are governed by two overriding principles: Do whatever you have to do mechanically to get the machinery to make it through grinding. Secondly, if the machine made it through grinding it’s good to go for next grinding season. Thus the sorry need for bushings and the like expressed by a previous poster.

Ingat masih kecil melihat kegiatan penebangan tebu diangkut dengan kereta buatan Belanda digiling ke pabrik gula Sragi Jawa Tengah.

Bardzo, bardzo dziękuję. To było coś zachwycającego. Siedziałam przed ekranem jak zahipnotyzowana.

[devisomaya]

Lovely scenic route in Eritrea, thanks, enjoyed the video and appreciate the hard work put in to produce it.

man those cane sugar field engines are tanks, doing their work probably since the 1920s-50s

[acesretroonline]

Australia still has 2 foot cane trains in widespread use. It's amazing just how many carts a single diesel loco can pull.

[raniramesh]

Whatever the technology improved we still remambarring the harritage period and enjoying the those period. Thanks for back to our early age.

Old is gold, see, how this stream engine is pushing up with loaded sugarcane sticks collected from the farmers to the sugar mill where white sugar is manufacturing. Very good Vedio Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 GREETINGS FROM BANGALORE KARNATAKA INDIA 🇮🇳 😀

Parabéns pelas tomadas em que se destaca essas maravilhas que foram o PROGRESSO de povos e países. Relembro minha infância na cidade de CACHOEIRO DE ITAPEMIRIM - Estado do Espírito Santo (Brazil), onde a locomoção de pessoas e cargas se davam por esse meio de transporte. E isso não tem tanto tempo assim, apenas 50/60 anos atrás (1957/58), hoje deu-se lugar ao transporte rodoviário, para surgimento de MONTADORAS DA FORD, MERCEDES e outras e sucatearam essas preciosidades que foram e SÃO as "MARIAS FUMAÇA" - Bons tempos aqueles que a singeleza da vida se concentrava nas pequenas coisas.

[ChrisRailwayJourneys]

There are so many trains and trains of different designs in this world. That's interesting.

[samuelfrancisco]

Como é maravilhoso ver isso é incrível isso me traz fortes emoções lembranças de quando eu ainda criança hoje estou com meus 68 anos abraços e parabéns pelo vídeo

[DidSome]
