Ambarawa Train Museum

Ambarawa Train Museum is one of the tourist spots in Ambarawa, Central Java. Having public transport on the train has become a matter for sure, but steam train rides with teak wood fuel and produce loud sounds are not always enjoyable. Ambarawa Train Museum could still use an old-fashioned boiler machine. The museum was known as the Train Station of Willem I, built on May 21 '1873. It used to facilitate transporting Dutch Colonial to Semarang town, which caused Ambarawa town to be a Dutch military base area over time.

Activity This station closed in 1970, and the railway station was inaugurated as Ambarawa Railway Museum on April 8 ’1978. The Indonesian army used 21 ancient locomotives in the battle to face the Dutch military. Present-day, the condition seems less manicured, and many buildings arbitrarily disrupt the beauty of the shaped museum.

Cars jagged stripes
Unique bands used are serrated rail links. The jagged train line used to climb raised the train line of Bedono railway station 9 kilometers. From Ambarawa to Bedono station is just about 1.5 hours. The band is exotic because it could see Mount Merbabu in the distance and Swamp Dizziness. The train line from Ambarawa to Bedono flipped it. The locomotive will be moved to the back and pushed up to Bedono. It will stop for about 15 minutes to fill the train with the tool to pump. This steam locomotive takes 2.5 hours to heat up to 2000 cubic water in a steam boiler. The Woodfuel used must be dried, which after a hot new car can be moved and requires a reliable machinist who understands the burning energy steam train process.
